Vintage 1940s Diamond Toi et Moi Swirl Ring

This is a vintage "Toi et Moi" (You and Me) style ring dating to approximately 1940. The ring is crafted in a white precious metal, likely 14k white gold or platinum, featuring a distinctive bypass or swirl motif. It is centered with two primary old European cut diamonds, each set within a circular bezel that is integrated into the curving ends of the shank. The bypass arms of the ring are further accented with pavé or grain-set small transitional cut diamonds, enhancing the overall brilliance. The design reflects the transitional aesthetics of the late Art Deco and early Retro periods, characterized by fluid, asymmetric lines and a heavy use of white metal to emphasize the stones. The central diamonds appear to be approximately 0.25 to 0.35 carats each, with visible warmth in color consistent with stones from this era. Condition-wise, the ring shows light surface wear and minor thinning of the lower shank consistent with age and regular use. No missing stones are visible, though the prongs and milgrain detailing show some softening of edges from decades of wear. The craftsmanship exhibits typical mid-20th-century precision with hand-finished stone settings.
