One stone sits a little higher than the other, the way a toi et moi is meant to, so the pair reads as two people standing together rather than as a matched set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentre stones: Two oval cut laboratory grown diamonds\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, offset, on a crossover bypass 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 goes back to the eighteenth century, worn as an engagement ring long before the single solitaire became the default. Napoleon gave Josephine one. It is the oldest way of saying with a ring what a solitaire only implies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the stones are offset\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet level and touching, two ovals look like a mistake at the bench. Offset, with one lifted and turned slightly against the other, they gain a relationship. The bypass band does the same work: it separates below and brings the two ends past each other rather than butting them together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe oval cut\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA brilliant cut stretched into an ellipse, chosen here because two long stones lying at an angle fill the finger without stacking height. Ovals also forgive the slight difference in size that gives a toi et moi its character.\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, which suits its antique origins, 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 oval 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 ends of the band are shaped so they pass each other cleanly, and the stones are set one at a time, since each sits at its own angle. 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, working the brush into the gap between the two stones and along the crossover. 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 ovals 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 ovals, divided evenly between them. Many people prefer one slightly larger than the other, which is the traditional way. Tell us when you order and it costs nothing extra.\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 have two different shapes?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, and it is a common request. A pear with an oval, or an oval with an emerald cut, both work in this setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill a wedding band sit flush?\u003c\/strong\u003e Not quite, since the band crosses over. A shaped band follows the line, and we will make one to match if you ask.\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
