Baroque Toi et Moi Ring
A delightful two-stone diamond ring in the Baroque style, dating from the early 18th century. The head is dramatically ornate with two rose cut diamonds resting in high, rub-over settings, nestled within a burst of foliage - an abstract mix of petals, scrolls, leaves, and vines - rendered in both gold and silver to create a pleasing bimetal effect. The ornamentation continues down the shoulders with further abstract motifs - shells, scrolls, etc - before giving way to a reeded band. English, circa 1700, crafted in 15 carat gold and silver.

Condition
We offer detailed and accurate condition reports on each listing. These pieces are antique, vintage, or pre-loved, often over 100 years old so they're going to have lived a life. A healthy patina and the odd scuff/scrape are quite normal... it's part of their charm! Everything we present has been checked over by our jeweller and should be good for wear for many years to come (unless otherwise stated) but please remember to treat them with appropriate care and consideration for their age.
