Vintage Faux Pearl & Tiger's Eye Cabochon Ring | Toi et Moi Style | Size 4.75
A charming vintage two-stone ring in the toi et moi (you and me) bypass style — one lustrous white faux pearl and one warm honey-brown tiger's eye cabochon, each prong-set and nestled together on a richly textured nugget-finish gold-tone head. The organic, molten-gold texture of the setting gives this ring a bold, handcrafted quality that suits both its stones beautifully. Stamped 18KT GE (gold electroplate) inside the band. Size 4.75.

◆ "Toi et moi" (you and me) rings feature two stones side by side, a design with roots in 18th-century French jewelry — Napoleon famously gave Josephine a toi et moi engagement ring. The style was widely revived in mid-century American costume jewelry.
◆ 18KT GE stands for 18 karat gold electroplate — a thick layer of 18kt gold applied over base metal, a step above standard gold plating and popular in quality American fashion jewelry of the 1960s and 1970s.
◆ Tiger's eye is a chatoyant (light-reflecting) quartz stone known for its warm golden-brown bands and silky luster — paired here with the cool luminosity of a faux pearl for a striking natural contrast.
◆ The nugget or "molten gold" texture on the setting is a hallmark of 1960s–70s American fashion jewelry, widely used to give electroplated pieces the feel of handcrafted fine jewelry.
