1970s Diamond 'Toi et Moi' Ring
Charming vintage Toi et Moi engagement ring, circa 1970. It's crafted in 18 carat white gold, with platinum settings and curved shoulders, each punctuated by a glistening, .40 carat brilliant cut diamond nestled on top of each other. Toi et Moi - you and me - is a popular style of engagement ring, symbolising two beings meeting as one. The style became famous in 1796, when Napoleon Bonaparte proposed to his beloved Josephine with one and has been a romantic choice ever since, with other notable figures such as Jackie Kennedy recipients of this enduring token of love.

A healthy patina and the odd scuff/scrape are quite normal... it's part of their charm!
