Sparkling "Toi-Et-Moi" Ring with Diamonds in Platinum on Gold, c. 1905
Sparkling "Toi-Et-Moi" Ring with Diamonds in Platinum on Gold, c. 1905
Description
Two old-cut diamonds sparkle in light-coloured platinum settings. They are offset against each other and mounted on a slightly curved ring shank. Smaller diamonds and a platinum overlay enliven the surface of the ring shoulders. The gold of the ring shank is only visible from the side - when worn, however, the ring is a unique celebration of sparkling white light reflections. The delicate prongs, which hold the larger diamonds securely, converge under the diamonds like a crown. The diamonds, each weighing approx. 0.40 ct, are presented equally. This makes the piece of jewellery a so-called "Toi-et-moi" ring. As the name suggests, the two gemstones symbolise two lovers. Napoleon adored Joséphine de Beauharnais with such a sapphire and diamond ring, and a century and a half later, John F. Kennedy proposed to Jackie Bouvier with a "toi-et-moi" ring made of emerald and diamond. Our ring was created in the early 20th century, around 1905, as evidenced by the curved elegance of its design and the use of fine materials. It is beautifully preserved, strikingly brilliant and also makes an excellent engagement ring. We discovered the ring in Cologne.
