Edwardian Fancy Diamond Toi et Moi Ring

Edwardian Fancy Diamond Toi et Moi RingA remarkable antique Toi et Moi crossover ring dating from the early 20th century, circa 1910. The principal stones are both old cut diamonds and both around half a carat in weight: one is icy white, the other displays a rich pinkish brown hue that stands out as both unusual and startlingly beautiful. The ring is crafted in platinum throughout with curved shoulders that sweep around the head, accented by further icy white old mine cut diamonds
