It has been assessed by GCS as approximately 1.00 carat, J–K colour and VS1–VS2 clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeside it sits an exceptionally romantic natural saltwater pearl, independently certified by GCS as a natural nacreous pearl with no indications of treatment. Its gently irregular natural form and soft white lustre are particularly lovely against the brilliance of the diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two principal gems curve towards one another in the classic moi et toi, “me and you” design, with further diamonds set into the shoulders. The contrasting white platinum settings allow the diamond and pearl to take centre stage, while the rose-gold shank gives the ring a wonderfully warm appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe moi et toi design became particularly fashionable in France during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, its two principal stones representing two individuals brought together: distinct, equal and inseparable. Frequently chosen as engagement rings and love tokens, there is something especially poignant about this example, pairing the softness and organic individuality of a natural pearl with the permanence and brilliance of a diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePearls have for centuries been associated with purity, wisdom and devotion, while diamonds symbolise endurance and constancy. Together they create a lovely conversation between softness and strength, perfectly suited to the romantic jewellery of the Belle Époque and early 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePearl engagement rings have also enjoyed a wonderful revival in recent years. Ariana Grande’s pearl and diamond moi et toi engagement ring and Emma Stone’s pearl engagement ring are modern echoes of a much older language of romantic jewellery, in which pearls were prized for their individuality rather than uniform perfection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccompanied by two independent GCS reports.\u003cbr\u003eGCS report no. 5787-0141 confirms the approximately 1.00ct natural old-cut pear-shaped diamond, J–K colour and VS1–VS2 clarity.\u003cbr\u003eGCS report no. 5786-4034 confirms the pearl as a natural saltwater nacreous pearl, white in colour, with good lustre and no indications of treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Parkin and Gerrish","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56711225540981,"sku":"125M","price":1950000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/3428\/6475\/files\/early-20th-century-18ct-rose-gold-natural-pearl-and-1-carat-old-pear-diamond-moi-and-toi-ring-6586201.jpg?v=1770663621","url":"https:\/\/parkinandgerrish.com\/fr-jp\/products\/early-20th-century-18ct-rose-gold-natural-saltwater-pearl-1-carat-old-cut-pear-diamond-moi-et-toi-ring","provider":"Parkin and Gerrish","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
