Circa 1900 Art Nouveau Toi et Moi ring with diamond, ruby, antique sparkle

An Art Nouveau toi et moi ring, made around 1900, in 18 carat yellow gold and platinum, its twin terminals curling in a supple botanical sweep, a signature flourish of the Art Nouveau style. An old European cut diamond meets an oval ruby, each in light claw settings, while the crossing shoulders are traced with antique cut diamonds for a soft, candlelit glint. The French name 'Toi et Moi' says it plainly: you and me, held together in one ring, a small vow you can wear, and a story that has every chance of becoming an heirloom.
