1952 Swedish 18ct White Gold Natural Emerald and Diamond Toi et Moi Ring

A vivid green emerald and a bright diamond sit beside one another, framed by graceful curves of white gold.

Dating to 1952, this Swedish vintage ring is crafted in 18ct white gold and features the classic Toi et Moi design. French for “you and me”, the name describes a two-stone arrangement traditionally associated with love and companionship.

The round faceted natural emerald measures approximately 4.5mm in diameter. Its lively green colour and visible natural inclusions give the stone individual character. Beside it, a round natural diamond measuring approximately 4mm provides a sparkling contrast.

Curved shoulders sweep around the two gemstones, creating a flowing silhouette with subtle Art Deco influences. Raised white gold details and fine beaded decoration add texture and catch the light. These shoulder details are decorative metalwork, rather than small diamond accents.

The inner band bears Swedish hallmarks, including the distinctive Kattfot (“Cat’s Paw”) national control mark—three crowns within a trefoil-shaped outline—indicating independent precious-metal testing. An 18K fineness mark denotes 18ct gold, while the date code B9 corresponds to 1952. Maker’s and town marks are also present, although their precise identities have yet to be confirmed.
