A ‘toi et moi’ ring c.1920; this original art deco piece holds two old European cut diamonds set slightly offset from one another in platinum bezel settings. Each diamond is approximately 0.30ct in weight, although they look even larger due to the settings, and are bright white and sparkly. Although we have graded the stones as SI2-I it is with hesitation as they are just so fiery and brilliant that you would never guess this was their clarity grade, the only inclusion giving up the game is a warmer inclusion in one stone, however this is so close to the culet that you barely even notice. The diamonds are in beautiful condition with only one small chip noted under magnification.
 
Surrounding the two stones is a delicate swirl of white gold that frames the two stones, making them look like yin and yang in their settings. Each wave of white gold is accented by three further eight cut diamonds, indicative of the 1920s.
 
These romantic rings make wonderful engagement rings, see our most recent blog on toi et moi rings for more of the history of these cherished, sentimental, pieces.
