Show me your Moi et Toi rings!

[SandyCheeks]

I have one made by David Klass using stones from my MIL and husband. Obviously different sized stones and that bugs me a little . The bigger stone is around 1.0cts and .65 for the smaller, in 14k white gold .

I actually like the asymmetry. Especially considering that it has sentimental value!

Moi et toi, two half carat OECs.

My ring is rose gold and pearl. It’s very dainty and I have to be careful but I don’t wear it everyday

So so pretty - I love this ring!

I just dropped off stones at my jeweler to have one made. With any luck it’ll look something like this:

It just dawned to me that a favorite & famous design is considered a T&M ring: Suzanne Belperron's 'Yin-Yang' - WWW...

There are many versions of this design by her. Then, I believe that Cartier had a line made in a very similar design called somethign else (Boulle?).

Oddly, I had no idea that these Belperron rings existed, while wearing an almost as bold gold-only version of my own doing. Someone noticed: 'your ring is like that other one!' - so I found out that Belperron did other beautiful things aside rock crystal cuffs! If only...

I no longer have that ring, and the idea of making another with a diamond is intriguing.

I tried one of these wonderful Belperron rings on at a masterpiece London this year. So very beautiful! 22k yellow gold and a 2 carat OEC

Stunning! Gees louise!!

It fit you, @RosieR

 

[RosieR]

It fit you, @RosieR

Yes! A little too well @AV_ unfortunately my budget will only stretch to the non diamond version. Though both versions are very beautiful and luxurious!

... the non diamond version.

It seems extremely wearable sans stones, IHMO.

.

The ring I owned was a loosely similar gold sculpture worth its weight in gold... It was the only piece of jewelry I wore every day for years. Certainly called attention of the right kind.

 

[partgypsy]

that ring looks really good on your hand! I think both versions (with and without diamond) would be beautiful.

Queen Margrethe of Denmark's engagement ring, two six carat square cut diamonds set in yellow gold from Van Cleef and Arpels. She married french diplomat Count Henri de Laborde de Monpezat in 1967.

From reading up on this it seems like she wears it every day.

Interesting arrangement for the two stones - offset across the finger... Leave it to VCA to find something to add even after such material has spoken ,) - tough job!

Something to match? WWW

The first bypass ring I fell for was Jackie's, and it still has my heart...

I'd love to know the stats on that.

I have searched all over the internet for a close-up picture of that ring! I think it's so elegant!

If my google-fu is right, I think it’s this which is more modestly sized than I thought (but still, y’know, a honker overall)

Also, I know they’re cushions and probably a bit warmer than you might want.. but there’s a beautifully matched 6.25ct pair on Grace’s site now.. https://www.jewelsbygrace.com/6-25ctw-antique-cushion-cut-diamond-pair-gia-j-vs2-k-vs2
just saying..

following on from this, LAD has a lovely pair of matched OECS on IG if you’re interested?

You're killing me here! It's 18 months too early. It's my 60th birthday then, and I will be open to aaaaaallll excessive, expensive, over the top, old-lady jewelry suggestions at that time! My DH has given me the option of a major trip, a major piece of jewelry, or something else equally extravagant. I'll be fascinated to see where that process lands!!

I’ll happily keep an eye out later then shopping vicariously for OECs is something I love to do.. especially since we’re a while off being in a position where I can upgrade mine

@AV_I love the emerald + diamond combo. What color setting goes well w/ this combo...

Thank you for sharing this! I love her ring!

@Rad_Fan White, methinks. When the pair ws published at GemConcepts, it made me wonder if they could match the cut of the emerald to the diamond's... elegant gimmick... Then again - they seem great to each other as they are.

You have road-tested a few T&M! Love the open settings...

 

[marymm]

Love love love!

Rad_Fan, do you have the deets on this ring?

 

[mrs-b]

Just wanted to say - this turned into a super awesome thread!!

 

[Rad_Fan]

@marymm, I don't have the deets. It's just 1 of those pictures I saved from Google because I like the flow/aesthetics of theses asymmetrical open rings.
