Antique 18K Gold Platinum 0.32 Ct Old Mine Cushion Cut Diamond Pearl Two Stone Toi et Moi Bypass Engagement Ring, Size 5
This gorgeous platinum 18K creamy pearl and old mine cut diamond two stone "toi et moi" engagement ring was crafted during the Edwardian period in a classic Belle Epoque style (Circa 1890s to 1910s). It features an extremely white and a fiery antique old mine cut diamond mounted on a 6-prong platinum crown and a creamy pearl (assumed it is cultured without further testing) mounted on a 18K gold pedal disc. The ring is finished with a wavy shoulder with platinum highlights and a smooth and graduated shank.
This "Toi et Moi", meaning ‘you and me’ in French, style of ring has a rich romantic connotation and fascinating history. One of the first Toi et Moi rings in jewelry history can be traced back to the Napoleon Era. In 1796, Napoleon --recently promoted to the commander of the French Army in Italy, offered to his new wife Josephine de Beauharnais a gorgeous Toi et Moi ring. Ever since then, this type of ring is a strong symbol of romance and love.
