FAQs

The Toi et Moi design, meaning You and Me in French, features two gems set side-by-side to represent the meeting of two souls. The style gained prominence in 1796 when Napoleon Bonaparte presented one to Josephine de Beauharnais, remaining popular through the Victorian and Art Deco eras.

Rings from the 1930s Art Deco period were predominantly crafted from platinum or white gold to emphasize the brilliant white tone of diamonds. Gemstones were typically hand-cut, such as old European or transitional cuts, and mounted using multi-claw or bezel settings.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-facetted old cut diamonds with smaller table facets, open culets, and steeper crown angles compared to modern round brilliants. Hallmark stamps indicating metal purity, along with hand-carved or grain-set accent shoulders, also help verify age.

A vintage two-stone ring can be worn as a stand-alone statement piece or paired with a slim, unadorned platinum wedding band. Combining it with simple geometric bangles or minimal diamond studs creates a balanced look that keeps focus on the central design.

Clean the ring using warm water, mild soap, and a soft-bristled brush to remove dust behind the claw settings. Professional jewelers should inspect the claws annually to ensure the gemstones remain secure in their mountings.
