For well over a hundred years, flush (or burnished) settings have been loved for much the same reasons we gravitate to them today: by sinking a stone directly into the band and smoothing the gold setting over the girdle, you get the ultimate in comfort and wearability, without having to worry about catching your ring or diamond on anything.  

This sweet c1930s ring is a smooth take on a beloved antique style, the toi et moi ring. French for you and me, the toi et moi is distinguished by a pair of stones - occasionally the same kind, often a mix of diamond and something else - one each representing your love and yourself. The style shot to popularity in the late 18th century, most famously when a diamond and sapphire version was presented by the future Emperor of France, Napoleon Bonaparte, to his beloved Josephine.

Very good vintage condition with wear in line with age and use.
