18kt Yellow Gold Old Mine Cut Diamond Two Stone Twist Ring

A two stone twist ring in 18kt yellow gold set with two old mine cut diamonds, DTE 0.96ct, in a crossover toi et moi arrangement. Small accent diamonds, DTI 0.16ct, are set in a curved line above and below the two principal stones, following the twist of the setting. The two main diamonds are claw-set in yellow gold collets.

The toi et moi or twin stone twist form, with the two stones set side by side on a crossover shank, is a romantic form associated with the late Victorian and Edwardian periods. The old mine cut stones retain their original faceting with the rounded outlines and high crowns characteristic of the period.

The ring weighs 2.7 grams and is currently sized M.
