Toi-et-Moi rings are among the most romantic pieces of jewelry there is. Their French name alone - "You and me" - predestines them as a gift of love. Even Napoléon Bonaparte gave his future wife Joséphine de Beauharnais a ring like this as an engagement present in 1796. In this type of ring, two gemstones set opposite each other always symbolize the fusion of two souls. This yellow gold and platinum ring can be dated to the mid-20th century due to the cut of its diamonds, as the two large brilliant-cut diamonds are full-cut gemstones, as is still used today. This magnificent piece of jewelry is a typical child of the economic miracle era, when a new desire for luxury spurred jewelry production after years of hardship. The diamonds are stones weighing around half a carat each, with a magnificent sparkle and wonderful light refraction. They are set in airy prong settings made of platinum, which allow the light to penetrate to the facets of the stones and make them sparkle wonderfully. As in a dance, the two protagonists are set slightly offset from each other. The curved ring shoulders feature eight additional small diamonds that are set into the ring. More than one carat of white diamonds, light platinum and the yellow gold of the ring band compete with each other as if in a tight embrace. The result is a wonderful vintage ring: perfectly crafted goldsmith work, a perfect gift and an elegant eye-catcher all in one!
