French "Que Hier Que Demain" Ring
Reference: CAX609
A beautifully romantic French ring from the 1960s, crafted in 18ct gold and imbued with deep sentiment. At its centre, a delicate plus symbol is set with a shimmering rose-cut diamond, followed by the engraved words "que hier" (than yesterday). Next, a minus symbol adorned with two vibrant rubies precedes the words "que demain" (than tomorrow). The phrase comes from the 1889 poem “L’éternelle chanson,” or “The Eternal Song,” by Rosemonde Gérard. In one stanza she wrote: “Car, vois-tu, chaque jour je t’aime davantage, Aujourd’hui plus qu’hier et bien moins que demain,” which translates to, “For you see, each day I love you more, today more than yesterday and less than tomorrow.” This ring features the French eagle hallmark for 18ct gold on the outer shank and the signature of A. Augis, the renowned jeweller behind this cherished design.
