Why Talking Is a Good Idea
Buying jewelry online is intimidating. We should know. We've been selling online for 17 years.
We've taken a totally different approach. A personal one.
Remember how experiences used to be intimate? Jewelry buying should be an intimate experience.
It isn't about having the largest selection, or selling the cheapest (i.e. low quality) jewelry. We’re not aiming to be the Amazon of jewelry. We are a family-owned jewelry store in Modesto (California) that is very picky about quality and design. That's been our calling card since 1989.
Beautiful jewelry should stir the soul. Before selecting a piece for display we ask, “How does this design make me feel?”
In a world of infinite choice, it’s nice to slow down and appreciate the work of master craftsmen.
Don’t use your credit card to buy this. Not yet.
It’s 5:40 AM in Modesto right now. Call us and see why we fell in love with this piece. One shouldn’t ever have to buy jewelry online without asking all your questions first. Oh, that’s right, that’s what makes us different from the thousands of online jewelry sites out there.
When you call you aren’t talking to an agent in a call center. Your talking to either Ron Yates, Ashton Yates-Woolley, Marissa Stewart, Mechelle Yates, or Justice Carillo at our Modesto store location.
Product Details
A gorgeous 2-stone diamond vintage ring. In French, the name of a two stone ring is Toi et Moi, meaning "you and me". This style of ring was popularized back in the late 1790s and early 1800s after Napolean Bonaparte proposed to Josephine with an engagement that featured two main stones. How romantic!
This beauty is hand crafted in precious platinum. It features as the two main stones, a .63ct Old European Cut diamond, and a .56ct Old European Cut diamond. These are so stunning. We love Old Euros! They just have a different look than a modern cut diamond. Old European Cut diamonds are from the 1920s - 1940s. You'll notice the small table, they have high crowns, open culets, and large noticeable facets. The way they are faceted, these antique diamonds throw off a rainbow of colors!
Surrounding the two main diamonds, are twenty-two (22) small single cut diamonds. These add just the right amount of sparkle to the mounting!
Take a gander at the side view, from the finger angle. Notice the beautiful open filigree detail. Just lovely!
The edges of the metal have hand applied milgrain detail - as was common back then. Nowadays, if a ring has milgraining it is almost always heavy and cast in the ring - not hand cut.
The total diamond weight is estimated at 1.45ctw. (The two center stones were pulled and weighed so we could get accurate diamond weights.)
