Art Deco Diamond 2-stone Ring in Yellow Gold Filigree

This stunning Art Deco engagement ring is unusual for two reasons. First, the ring is a yellow gold Art Deco ring, whereas most were made of white gold or platinum. Someone with a taste for yellow gold may have ordered this, or perhaps the jeweler wanted to make something special. We will never know. Another unusual feature is that this ring has two center stones instead of a single central diamond. In France, these rings are referred to as "toi et moi," meaning "you and me" for their romantic symbolism. In this case, each antique diamond is substantial, weighing over 1/4 carat each, and set into white gold illusion heads that make them appear even more prominent within the yellow gold framework. The sides of the ring are complete with classic Art Deco die-struck filigree, and the ring sits low on the hand for comfort and durability, making this a significant vintage engagement or right-hand ring.

Details: 14k yellow Art Deco ring with 18k white gold top set with .58ctw round Old European cut diamonds (SI2 HI) and filigree accents, circa 1930.
