"I can't see me lovin' nobody but you For all my life When you're with me, baby the skies'll be blue For all my life Me and you and you and me No matter how they toss the dice, it had to be The only one for me is you, and you for me So happy together" This ring reminded us of the Turtles' hit from 1967. The fine goldsmith's work features a glittering setting with two white old-cut diamonds on an elegantly curved band. The ring itself is made of yellow gold, while the diamonds are set in light platinum. Ten smaller old-cut diamonds set the curves of the ring band. All the stones together weigh around one carat. The elegant juxtaposition of the ring's two large stones, which really brings out the radiant shine of these precious treasures, makes the ring a so-called "toi-et-moi" piece of jewelry. 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. This ring is a child of this tradition. Judging by its workmanship and the cut of the diamonds, the piece was created around 1905. Only the ring band has been renewed in more recent times. It can therefore be worn without worry.

Rings with delicately curved rails, at the ends of which precious gemstones or pearls are presented, first appeared around 1900. Inspired by the dynamic forms of Art Nouveau, this jewelry fashion quickly became a great success. It is no wonder that such designs remained fashionable until the 1940s, despite all other changes in taste.
