Vienna experienced a cultural boom in the second half of the 19th century. As early as 1870, the population exceeded the one million mark and the city was fundamentally redesigned and modernized. Since then, the metropolis on the Danube has been one of the most important European centers of the fine arts. The jewellery from the Vienna of the decades around the turn of the century is extremely magnificent. The imperial and royal capital was populated by a wealthy bourgeoisie who loved balls and social events and placed great value on art and beautiful things. First-class jewelry was an indispensable accessory for the ladies of the time. This ring also dates from that era. It features two large old-cut diamonds as its main setting, which are presented in equal measure. This makes the ring a so-called toi-et-moi ring, whose gemstones are intended to symbolize the two lovers. Bright silver bezel settings make the two diamonds, which together weigh around 0.84 ct, appear even larger. Fine curves with small leaves connect the large diamonds to the ring band and make them appear like flowers. Small octagonal diamonds provide additional highlights. We found this well-preserved ring from northern Germany. Its symbolism makes it a wonderful gift of love or an individual engagement ring.
