Two rounded shapes, closely related but not the same, and nothing else on the ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentre stones: One oval cut and one pear cut laboratory grown diamond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarat options: 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat, the combined weight of the pair\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: Claw set side by side on a plain round band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccent stones: None\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\u003eWhat a toi et moi is\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo stones, one ring. The name is French for you and me, and the style predates the solitaire by more than a century. It was how you proposed before a single diamond became the convention, and a pair says something a single stone only implies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAn oval with a pear\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe two shapes share a curve, so they sit together without the visual argument you get from pairing a round with a rectangle. The difference between them is the point of the pear, which gives the ring a direction and stops the pairing looking like a mistake at the bench.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA band that does nothing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlain, round, the same width all the way round, with no crossover and no accents. On a ring with two large stones that is the correct amount of band, and it means a wedding band sits against it cleanly.\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. This ring was photographed in yellow gold, but every metal is made to order and priced above. White gold is rhodium plated and will want replating every one to two years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eEvery centre stone arrives 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.\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 set at slightly different angles so their tables finish level despite different depths, and the tip of the pear is covered by a full claw rather than left standing proud. Allow two to three weeks for making, plus shipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the photographs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome photographs show this ring with stacking bands or worn alongside another ring. Those pieces are separate and are not included. The ring box shown is our standard packaging and comes with every order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLooking after it\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWarm water, mild washing up liquid and a soft toothbrush, working into the join between the two stones. The point of a pear is its thinnest part, so avoid knocks. Take it off for the gym, gardening and swimming.\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is the carat weight split?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat options are the combined weight of the two diamonds, divided evenly. Traditionally one is slightly larger, and we will do that instead at no extra charge if you say so when ordering.\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\u003eCan I choose different shapes?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. Two ovals, a pear with an emerald cut, a marquise with a round, all work in this setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill a wedding band sit flush?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. The band is plain and round, so a straight band meets it cleanly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be resized?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, at the back. One or two sizes either way is straightforward.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapple Gems","offers":[{"title":"925 Sterling Silver \/ 2
