They face each other across a small gap, each on its own paved arm, so the ring reads as two stones in conversation rather than one stone with company.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStones: One pear cut and one emerald cut laboratory grown diamond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarat options: 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat total between the two stones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour and clarity: E colour, VVS2 clarity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertificate: IGI, included free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSetting: Open ended toi et moi, one stone on each arm, with pave shoulders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccent stones: Round laboratory grown diamonds, E colour, VVS2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetals: 925 silver, 10K, 14K and 18K gold in yellow, rose and white\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade: To order in Surat, India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eToi et moi\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe name is French for you and me, and the design goes back at least to 1796, when Napoleon proposed to Josephine with a ring holding a pear diamond beside a pear sapphire. Two stones, two people, one ring. It has come back into fashion in the last few years because it is the rare engagement ring that says something specific rather than just expensive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy this pairing works\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA pear is all curve and comes to a point. An emerald cut is all straight lines and flat planes. Setting them opposite each other makes each one look more like itself, and because the two cuts catch light in completely different ways, one flashing in broad mirrors and one sparkling, the ring changes character depending on which stone the light finds first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe open band\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRather than meeting at the top, the two arms stop short and leave a gap. That gap is what lets each stone sit on its own and keeps the ring from looking like a two stone cluster. It also means the ring is slightly adjustable at the fitting stage, though it is still built to your finger size, and it sits differently on the hand from a closed shank, tilting toward whichever side is heavier.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat laboratory grown means here\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA laboratory grown diamond is a diamond. It is crystallised carbon with the same cubic structure, the same 10 on the Mohs scale, the same refractive index of 2.42 and the same dispersion as a mined stone. Ours are grown by chemical vapour deposition and high pressure high temperature methods, then cut and polished by hand. This is not moissanite, not cubic zirconia and not a simulant. A gemmologist testing it will read diamond, because it is diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMetals\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose 925 sterling silver, or 10K, 14K or 18K gold in yellow, rose or white. White gold is photographed here, and a colourless metal keeps both stones reading as their own colour rather than picking up a tint from the setting. 10K is the hardest alloy, which suits an open band, 14K is the everyday balance, and 18K is the richest colour. White gold is rhodium plated and will want replating every one to two years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBoth stones arrive IGI certified\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth diamonds are graded by IGI, the International Gemological Institute, and the certificates come with the ring at no extra charge. Each states the carat weight, the E colour grade, the VVS2 clarity grade, the measurements and the girdle inscription, and confirms in writing that the stone is laboratory grown. On a two stone ring matching the grade matters more than usual, because the stones are seen side by side and any difference in colour would be obvious. The pave accents are matched to the same E and VVS2 grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe pear point is guarded\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tip of the pear sits in a v claw that wraps around both edges of the point rather than pressing down on it, and it is angled inward toward the emerald cut so it sits within the profile of the ring instead of standing out over the edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMade to order in our own workshop\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMapple Gems is a family run workshop in Surat, India, where most of the world's diamonds are cut and polished. The two stones are chosen as a pair, matched for colour, and the arms are shaped so they sit at the same height and the gap between them is even. Allow two to three weeks for making, plus shipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLooking after it\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWarm water, mild washing up liquid and a soft toothbrush. Clean both baskets from underneath and along the pave on each arm. An open band should not be squeezed or pulled to adjust it, so bring it back to us if it ever needs resizing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions we are asked\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat colour and clarity are the diamonds?\u003c\/strong\u003e Both stones are E colour and VVS2 clarity, on every metal and every carat weight, and they are matched to each other. The pave is the same grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the carat weight cover both stones?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. The 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat options are the combined weight of the pear and the emerald cut, split between them so the two read as a balanced pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the certificate really free?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. IGI reports for both stones are included in the price on every variant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill a wedding band sit flush against it?\u003c\/strong\u003e Not flat, because the two arms sit at different heights. Most people wear this ring alone or on a different finger from their wedding band.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be resized?\u003c\/strong\u003e Only by us, and only slightly, because the open ends are set to a specific gap. Please measure carefully and we will build to your size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I swap which stone sits on which side?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. Tell us when you order and we will set the pear on the other arm.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2
