Round emeralds weighing 8.27 carats and 8.34 carats respectively cross to create a very substantial and incredibly magnificent ring. The stones are a fantastic vivid green and set into 18k yellow gold. Round-cut emeralds are rare especially in this size and color because they are more expensive to produce.
The rest of the ring is made in 18k white gold and the top of the shank is decorated with 8 small round diamonds allowing the major stones to stand out.
The “toi et moi” ring style dates to the late 18th century and symbolizes unity and love. The phrase means “you and me” in French. In 1796, Napolean Bonaparte proposed with a diamond and sapphire “toi et moi “ring. The style was popular in the Victorian era and then resurged during the Art Deco period of the 1920s and 1930s. Jackie Kennedy was engaged to JFK with a “toi and moi” ring with a 2.88 carat diamond and a 2.84 carat emerald, both emerald cut. More recently, celebrities including Ariana Grande and Megan Fox flaunt the style.
