About the Item

Rare 1900s Edwardian GIA Russian DEMANTOID Garnet Old Mine Cushion DIAMOND Crossover "Toi et Moi" Engagement 18k Gold Antique Ring If you are looking for the perfect ring to tell her how much you love her, look no further. Clasped like lovers for all eternity, this dainty yet highly ornate ring of notable feminine grace was named by the French as the 'Toi et Moi' ring, meaning 'you and me' and epitomizes the 1900s Romanticism. This is truly a wonderful, special, spectacular, lover's ring. In exquisite 'en diagonal' design, this antique Edwardian ring exposes a complimentary duo of the rarest of the GEMs - green Russian DEMANTOID ** green garnet and an Antique OLD MINE Cushion cut diamond, set against the warm tone of yellow and white gold creating a stunning composition, crafted in 18k gold. Shimmering with antique rose-cut diamonds, two gracefully curving ribbons bypass each other, one culminating in a sparkling Old Mine Brilliant cut (4.60x4.30x3.49mm) aprox. 0.55ct, G-H SI2 quality overall, the other with a 0.89 carat vibrant green demantoid garnet, by way of the Ural Mountains of Russia, nestling side-by-side--now and forever. Round Demantoid green garnet is graded a delightful 'chartreuse' color and 'great' clarity', bearing recent GIA certificate #2231509717 This intriguing, color-enriched duo is mounted within alluring crown-shaped prong-settings of immaculate openwork craftsmanship. The romantically designed curvaceous, tri-dimensional shoulders are cumulatively adorned with 14 bead-set rose-cut diamonds, estimated 0.25ct, E-G SI/I quality and embellished with delicate chase work. This absorbing antique ring of great finesse and Edwardian flair concludes with a slender, meticulously ridged yellow gold band and an easily sizable shank. Hand fabricated in 18K gold, currently ring size 6 1/2. The Weight: 4.71g. Height 5.08mm Band tappers down from 2.85mm to 2.23mm on the bottom This would make a superior and one of kind engagement or anniversary ring for the one you want to spend eternity with.

Provenance: Private Collection. ***Referred to as the 'star of green garnets', demantoid is a green variety of the mineral andradite, a member of the garnet family of minerals. By definition, demantoid is always green, but the exact shade ranges from a very light yellowish peridot-color green to almost the color of fine emeralds. Due to its scarcity and extreme luminosity, demantoid is amongst the most highly esteemed gemstones. Mined in the depths of the Ural Mountains in Russia, this valuable and very rare gem is most often found in antique jewelry from the turn of the 19th century. Russia's renowned jewelry designer Carl Faberge admired greatly the green garnet and used it in many of his world famous creations.
