14K Gold, 0.50 ctw Diamond Toi et Moi Ring,1950s, Netherlands

Some rings are more than just sparkles – they tell a story. This is the case with this exceptional Toi et Moi ring, whose name literally means “You and Me”. It is a design that has been known for centuries, chosen by lovers as a symbol of two souls united forever.

Its crossover design, with two old mine cut diamonds, brings to mind classic engagement rings from the past – elegant, meaningful and timeless. A similar design was worn by Josephine Bonaparte herself when Napoleon gave her just such a ring as a sign of eternal love.

This Dutch piece, signed after 1955, combines the romance of old times with the precision of goldsmith craftsmanship.

This is jewellery that tells a love story – will it be part of yours?
