Description

This ring from the c. 1900s fascinates with the harmonious interplay of its precious materials. The curved arms of the ring bear a genuine natural pearl from the Persian Gulf on one side. Its counterpart is a large old-cut diamond. A play of light with warm white reflections is created, captivating the wearer's attention and yet appearing delicate and elegant at the same time. The juxtaposition of the two large elements, the pearl and the diamond, in this ring identifies it as a so-called "toi-et-moi" piece of jewellery. This type of "you-and-me" pieces of jewellery were typical gifts of love at the time they were created. In the imagination of the time, the man and woman stand opposite each other as lovers; recognizable as independent elements, yet firmly connected by their feelings and symbolically united in a piece of jewellery. Six further, smaller diamonds set the ring band between the two large protagonists. They are set in platinum, while the ring itself is made from reddish gold. The materials used, the cuts of the stones and the shape of the ring allow us to date it back to the turn of the century before last.
