Two large cushion-shaped diamonds are the main ornament of this ring. Their equal presentation, which places both diamonds equally in the center of attention, makes this piece of jewellery a so-called "toi-et-moi" ring. As the name suggests, the two gemstones symbolize two lovers. Napoleon already adored his Joséphine with such a sapphire and diamond ring, and a century and a half later, John F. Kennedy asked Jackie, then still Jacqueline Bouvier, to marry him with a "toi-et-moi" ring made of emerald and diamond. This ring dresses the significant idea in a bold turn-of-the-century design. Warm red gold forms shiny curves, at the ends of which sit the two diamonds in crown settings. They are connected and stabilized by a further ornament set with small diamonds. The two large diamonds were probably cut a few decades earlier; perhaps they were previously part of an heirloom whose diamonds found new life here. They weigh approx. 0.70 ct and 0.80 ct, whereby the difference in weight is only reflected in the height of the gemstones, meaning that both appear to be the same size when worn. The elegant ring is in very good condition. It shines as brightly as on the first day, presumably due to a recent polish.
