This stunning, fine and impressive antique toi et moi ring has been crafted in 18ct yellow gold with platinum settings.
The twist design is ornamented with a feature 0.85ct Old European round cut diamond and a 2.05ct cushion mixed cut ruby, individually six-claw set in platinum.
The pierced decorated, bifurcating foliate-shaped ring shoulders integrate with the twist design and meld seamlessly with the plain ring shank.
This ruby and diamond ring is hallmarked to the outer surface with the French 18ct gold mark (eagle's head) and platinum mark (dog's head).
The antique ring is supplied with an IDGL diamond grading report certificate for the feature diamond, in addition to a Gemological Consultancy certificate and IDGL diamond and gemstone grading report card for the ruby.
The ruby and diamond toi et moi ring employs dual-stone symmetry to represent emotional union and relational balance. The ruby introduces intensity and symbolic passion, while the diamond contributes clarity and brilliance, creating contrast through colour and light performance. Rooted in romantic jewellery tradition, the Toi et Moi structure offers a more expressive and individual alternative to conventional solitaire designs.
Images do not always reflect the true colour and brilliance of gemstones and diamonds. The video however provides a truer representation of the actual colour and showcases each stone.
