This ring is what is known as a “toi-et-moi” ring: this is evident from the pair of gemstones and their setting, which places both equally in the spotlight. As the name suggests, the two gemstones are meant to symbolize lovers. Napoleon himself presented his Joséphine with such a ring featuring a sapphire and a diamond, and a century and a half later, John F. Kennedy proposed to his Jackie—then still Jacqueline Bouvier—with a toi-et-moi ring set with an emerald and a diamond. The two gemstones set opposite each other here are an old European cut diamond—the so-called “old European cut diamond”—and a deep-blue sapphire. Both gemstones are set in delicate platinum chatons. The ring itself is crafted from warm, lustrous 14-karat yellow gold and features an elegantly curved design, making the two gemstones appear as if they are dancing together. Seven smaller accent diamonds in platinum settings add a touch of sparkle to the design. The ring was created c. 1910, when the toi-et-moi ring was at the height of its popularity. We discovered this luxurious piece of jewellery in Heilbronn. Thanks to its timeless design and romantic message, it is perfect as an engagement ring or a gift of love.
