Description

Pieces of jewellery have been carriers of meaning throughout the ages. Hardly any area is naturally more strongly represented than the great field of love. This ring also features a well-known motif: in an elegant juxtaposition, the ring presents two gemstones, a diamond and a pearl. It is a classic "toi-et-moi" motif (French for "you and me"), which was often given as an engagement ring at the turn of the century. The motif represents the two lovers by presenting two gemstones side by side on an equal footing and uniting them in a harmonious design. At the center of the ring are a natural saltwater pearl and a diamond of equal size. The old-cut diamond weighs around 0.23 ct. They are framed by elegantly curving ring bands set with diamonds and surrounded by tendril motifs. Typical of the time, the entire front of the gold ring is covered in platinum, creating a white look when worn. The design and materials of the ring are typical of early 20th century jewellery and its lines show the influence of Art Nouveau. According to its hallmark, it was made in Germany.
