(SOLD) Antique French "Toi et Moi" Diamond Cluster Bypass Hinged Bangle, 2.5.CTW (Convertible Diamond Clusters)

Feminine, Romantic.
We love a diamond cluster, but two? Even better!
Chunky, cushiony old mine cut centers are haloed by antique rose cuts — for a sparkle that is brilliant and soft at the same time. The clusters “float” on diamond set knife edge bangles — in an elegant bypass formation, for an instant stacked look.
Such a romantic “Toi et Moi” jewel, circa 1890s.
Safety chain present. Diamonds are set in silver over gold. Gold is yellow, with a hint of rose — typical of French antique gold. Bangle is double hinged, with the clasp at the back.
PS: We just discovered that the diamond clusters screw off and on! At one time, this was a convertible jewel! We can imagine that the clusters would have also been worn on a ring or as earrings (perhaps both). At buyer’s option, we can custom make earring fittings, at an additional cost to be determined.
Shown on a 6 inch wrist. See video for scale on the wrist.
Marked with French owl mark (we believe the bangle is French— not an import; later assayed with the owl due to lack of other legible French hallmark)
18k gold, silver, diamond.
Dimensions and weight:
● 55.5 mm x 50.5 mm inside diameters; approximately 162 mm/ 6.38 inches inside circumference
● 18.7 mm wide/each cluster approximately 10.3 mm in diameter
● 10.7 mm deep (at deepest portion)
● 2.5 ctw diamond (1.3 ctw old mine cut diamonds and 1.2 ctw rose cut diamonds); I-J color, SI clarity on the OMCs and I-J-K colors, VS/SI clarity on the rose cuts.
● 25.2 grams
Period: Victorian
*Please note that all dimensions and weights are approximate. Age-commensurate wear may be present.
