This unique piece had a previous life in Belgium.

The story: Characterized by two motifs (usually two stones, although this is not always the case, as here) facing each other, the first famous You and Me ring was the one given by Napoleon Bonaparte to Joséphine de Beauharnais on an engagement. Since then, this ring design has been a classic engagement ring, symbolizing the two hearts ready to unite forever.
