Toi et moi means you and me, and the design has spent two centuries being read as two people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead it however you like. Two stones can just as easily be the woman you were and the one you turned into, sitting side by side on the back of your own hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\u003ch3\u003e✦ Diamond Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStone:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two round brilliant lab-grown diamonds, set as a pair at the centre point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClarity:\u003c\/strong\u003e VS+, eye-clean\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e EF+, near-colorless and bright white\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCut:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCarat weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 to 1.2 ctw across the pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSetting:\u003c\/strong\u003e The two stones sit close and slightly offset, so they read as one gesture rather than two separate diamonds on a chain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo stones next to each other is the hardest matching job in a small piece. Side by side and touching, there is no distance to soften a difference in colour or brilliance. If one were even slightly warmer than the other, this design would fall apart. That pairing is the whole craft here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\u003ch3\u003e✦ Metal \u0026amp; Construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid 14k gold, in yellow or white. Not plated, not filled, not vermeil.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe diamonds are set at the midpoint of the chain, so they land on the back of the hand rather than at the wrist or against the knuckle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA loop slips over the finger and a lobster claw fastens at the wrist. There is no size to choose.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe chain is deliberately fine. Two stones on a heavy chain would look like a bracelet that got lost. On this weight of gold they float.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSettings sit low, so the pair stays flat against the hand instead of standing up and catching on things.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\u003ch3\u003e✦ How to Wear It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLoop over the middle finger, chain drawn back across the hand, clasp at the wrist. Adjust until the two stones sit dead centre on the back of the hand. That placement is the entire design, and half an inch out in either direction shows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWear it on a bare hand. This is the quietest of our three hand chains, so it also happens to be the one you can wear to a lunch rather than only to a dinner. If you want more, put a Mosaic Ring on the other hand instead of loading up this one. Two diamonds is the idea. Adding a third defeats it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\u003ch3\u003e✦ Why Lab-Grown Diamonds\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChemically and optically identical to mined diamonds. Same carbon structure, same 10 on the Mohs scale, same fire.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGraded on the same 4Cs by the same standards, which is what allows two stones sitting in contact to be genuinely matched rather than approximately matched.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraceable origin for both diamonds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBetter value, which is why the toi et moi motif does not have to be an engagement ring anymore. It can be a piece you choose for yourself, in a form nobody will mistake for a proposal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\u003ch3\u003e✦ Perfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe woman who likes the romance of the motif and would rather own it than be given it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDaytime, where a hand chain this fine passes as jewellery rather than as an event.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarking a before and an after. A move, a divorce, a company, a decade.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone who wants diamonds somewhere other than a finger, an ear or a neck.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe second hand chain, once the first one has taught you how much you like wearing them.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\u003ch3\u003e✦ Care \u0026amp; Longevity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid 14k gold does not tarnish or fade.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarm water, a drop of mild soap and a soft brush. Work between the two stones. That narrow gap is the one place on this piece where cream and soap collect and refuse to rinse out.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean it more often than a necklace. Hands are washed several times a day and jewellery on them is not.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTake it off for anything requiring grip. The chain running past the palm side of the finger loop takes the most stress on the whole piece.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOff before swimming. Chlorine attacks the alloys in gold over time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClasp it closed and lay it flat to store, and keep it away from heavier chains.
