Edwardian, 18ct Gold, 'Toi et Moi' Diamond Ring

Diamond ring, early 20^th century. This pretty ring is an example of a particularly romantic style of ring known as ‘toi et moi’. Literally ‘you and me’, these two-stone ring designs were popularised in the opening years of the twentieth century as engagement rings, the perfectly paired stones representing each half of the happy couple. Set with two early 20^thcentury circular-cut diamonds, each weighing approximately 0.65 carats, this is a simple and beautiful design that translates perfectly to the modern era.
