The story: the first famous You and Me ring was the one given by Napoleon Bonaparte to Joséphine de Beauharnais in engagement. Since then, this ring design has been a classic engagement ring, symbolizing the two hearts ready to unite forever. Depending on the stones that are associated with each other, the symbolism of the ring can be personalized: here, the diamond, symbol of eternity, unites with the pearl, symbol of beauty, love in fullness and gratitude.
