Circa 1900s Transitional Cut Diamond Toi et Moi, with Filigree, 18ct White Gold and Platinum, size 6.25 or M, 2.51g, with valuation

This beautiful ring is the epitome of hand crafted romantic love tokens from the early 1900s. Made as a "toi et moi" - the french for you and me, this ring is a hand crafted statement of love between two souls - forever entwined in the newest of metals - this piece screams of the inspiration from the Edwardian and Art Deco eras. The two diamonds are early brilliants - and show how amazing the first half of the 20th Century was - moving with the times - new metals, new ways of cutting stones - and all combined in this ring. The diamonds are well matched for colour although one is slightly more included than the other. The common claw centre means they sit nicely close to each other - which has a lovely aspect from the top. The hand carved filigree gallery is stunning and ornate - and is one of the reasons we say that this ring is not very sizeable. Just look at the craftsmanship to pierce and then style those lines and curves - what a craftsman. This ring has had its tips re-done at some point in its lifetime and that is amazing - as it offers it another lease of life to be loved by you.
