DATE: Art Deco, c.1920 

An attractive antique Toi et Moi engagement dating from the Art Deco era, circa 1920. Two old cut diamonds rest together in platinum bezel settings, set slightly offset from the band following the lines created by the crossover shoulders. Unlike the earlier Art Nouveau style crossover rings, the shoulders have a sharp corner, almost 90 degrees, meeting in the middle between the diamonds. Crafted in 18 karat gold.
