This ring follows a classic design: it is a so-called "toi-et-moi" ring, in which two equally presented gemstones face each other as mirror images. As the French name "You and I" suggests, the two stones symbolize a pair of lovers. Napoleon Bonaparte gave Joséphine a ring like this, with a sapphire and diamond. And John F. Kennedy also asked Jacqueline Bouvier to marry him with a "toi-et-moi", choosing the juxtaposition of emerald and diamond. This ring juxtaposes an old-cut diamond of approx. 0.35 carats with a pastel-colored sapphire. Both stones are framed by elegantly curved ring shoulders set with small diamonds. The warm yellow gold band unites both gemstones - as if in a dancing dialog. The ring was created shortly after 1910, a time when rings of this type were particularly popular. The choice of platinum for the diamond setting - instead of the yellow gold that had been common until then - shows that the goldsmith was working at the height of his era, both technically and creatively. We discovered this enchanting piece of jewelry in Stuttgart. With its timeless design language and deeply romantic symbolism, it is an ideal engagement ring - or a special gift of love.
