Nerida – Toi et Moi Sapphire & Antique Diamond Ring
Nerida is a captivating take on the timeless toi et moi design, where two gemstones sit side by side in symbolic harmony. This style has long represented the union of two souls, and Nerida expresses it with striking individuality through the meeting of an Australian sapphire and an antique old mine diamond.
The sapphire, a natural blue parti gem, reveals flashes of deep teal interwoven with golden undertones — a hallmark of Australia’s most distinctive sapphires. Its vibrant, shifting colour captures the ever-changing beauty of nature. Beside it rests a rare old mine–cut diamond, its hand-cut facets exuding a warm champagne glow and a romantic vintage charm. Together, these two stones tell a story of past and present, tradition and modernity, brought into balance within one extraordinary ring.
Set in luminous 18k white gold, the clean band highlights the contrast between the stones while offering a refined and enduring elegance. Nerida is a one-of-a-kind creation — an heirloom ring that embodies individuality, romance, and a connection to both history and nature.
The Heritage of Old Mine Diamonds
Old mine–cut diamonds are treasures of the past, each carrying with them centuries of history. Cut by hand during the Georgian and Victorian eras (18th to 19th century), these diamonds predate the precision of modern cutting technology. Their high crowns, small tables, and large facets were designed to sparkle in candlelight, giving them a glow that feels deeply romantic and uniquely timeless. Choosing a ring with an old mine diamond means embracing a piece of jewellery history — a stone that is not only rare but also ethically significant, as it has been in circulation for generations rather than newly mined.
