Description

This fine piece features a glittering setting with two old-cut white diamonds on an elegantly curved rail. The ring itself is made of 14-karat rose gold, while the diamonds are set in light platinum. Two smaller old-cut and octagonal diamonds set the curves of the ring band. All the stones together weigh more than half a carat. The juxtaposition of the ring's two large stones identifies it as a so-called "toi-et-moi" piece of jewellery. Its name alone, which comes from the French "you-and-me", predestines it as a gift of love. Even Napoléon Bonaparte gave his future wife Joséphine de Beauharnais a ring like this as an engagement gift in 1796. In this type of ring, two gemstones or pearls set opposite each other always symbolize the two lovers. According to the workmanship and the cut of the diamonds, the piece was created in c. 1910. The ring came to us from the Allgäu.
