A wonderful 3.48ctw Toi et Moi ring featuring two sweet marquise diamonds with a luxuriously thick band.

I've read many times that the first Toi et Moi ring was given by Napoleon to his first Empress Josephine– a pear cut diamond and and tear drop sapphire — to celebrate their union. Since then, the toi et moi has come to symbolize the harmoization in coupling; the you and the me of it all. 

Often the choice of stones sent into a toi et moi will have significance to wearer. Here at the curio, we have custom created toi et moi pieces with birth stones, significant family heirlooms, and reworked historical pieces for new loving hands; I'm delighted to share this special vintage toi et moi, for what could be a more romantic than two marquise diamonds, set in a long lasting kiss?
