The larger sits high, the smaller leans in beside it, and the band beneath stays completely undecorated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentre stones: Two pear cut laboratory grown diamonds, one larger, one smaller\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 is older than the solitaire by more than a century: it was how you proposed before a single diamond became the convention. Napoleon gave Josephine one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDeliberately unequal\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe two pears are not the same size. Matched stones give a symmetrical ring that reads as decoration; unequal ones read as a pair of individuals, which is the entire point of the style. The smaller stone is angled into the larger so their curves nest rather than collide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA band that does nothing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlain, round, the same width all the way round. On a ring with two large stones of different sizes, restraint in the band is what keeps the whole thing from becoming busy. It also 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, and in white metal in two images, 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 pear 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 both points are covered by full claws 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 where they sit closest. 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 pears 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 pears, with the larger stone taking roughly two thirds. If you want them closer in size, or further apart, 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 choose different shapes?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. A pear with an oval, or a pear with a marquise, both 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
