Vintage Toi-et-moi Ring with Diamonds & Blue Sapphire, c. 1970

Night and day, you are the one Only you 'neath the moon or under the sun Whether near to me or far It's no matter, darling, where you are I think of you day and night... The perpetual alternation of day and night has been a symbol of the cycle of life since ancient times. In this white gold ring, this idea of opposites belonging together is captured - making the ring far more than just a piece of jewellery with sapphire and diamonds. Created from white gold around 1970, the piece of jewellery features a radiant white diamond and a midnight blue sapphire set on a curved ring band with eight further sparkling diamonds. The juxtaposition of the two bigger gemstones identifies the ring as a so-called "toi-et-moi" piece of jewellery. This type of "you-and-me" jewellery is intended to symbolize the two lovers: Napoleon already adored his Josephine with such a sapphire and diamond ring. The ring is in very good condition. It came to us here in Berlin.
