Diamond Heaven’s article covers what to consider when choosing a toi et moi ring.

Consider Combining Different Diamond Shapes

The beauty of a two-stone engagement ring is that you can combine different diamond shapes and get creative. Typically, the first stone shape in a toi et moi ring will be an elongated fancy shape such as an oval or emerald cut, with the second stone’s shape down to personal preference in which fits nicely with your main stone a pear cut is a popular choice for this or two pear cuts always sit well together on the band. Browse over all the different fancy-shaped diamond options you can match up. Many choose one shape each to represent yourself and have the stones leaning towards each other representing your two lives coming together in the engagement ring. What better way to ask “Will you marry me?”

Think About Mixing and Matching Diamond Carats

Toi et moi rings come with varying stone sizes. Always remember that each diamond shape can appear very different size-wise when matching them up as some are elongated shapes so the dimensions will play an important part in that face-up view on the ring, take time to choose the right carat weight. Ask to check the dimensions of the diamonds if you cannot try the ring on first to get a rough idea of how they will sit together and how big they will look when worn on the finger side by side. Measuring by millimetres will give you an idea of the stone’s surface area. It will help you find how much space each stone takes up and the settings of the stones on the band to ensure the ring will be comfortable to wear.

Diamonds or Gemstones?

If you want to design your two-stone engagement band, deciding whether you want diamonds or gemstones can be difficult. The gemstones or diamonds you choose can be for symbolic or aesthetic reasons.
