Open Toi et Moi Wedding Band with Two Round Lab-Grown Diamonds
Two round Lab-Grown Diamonds face each other across an open band of solid 14K gold. Made as the matching band for our Marquise Three-Stone Engagement Ring, your open band sits beside it at the same 2mm width, so the two rings read as one set on your hand instead of two pieces that happen to be near each other.
Which engagement ring does this band match?
Your band is built to pair with the Marquise Three-Stone Engagement Ring, a 1 carat marquise Lab-Grown Diamond flanked by two round side stones. Both rings share a 2mm band, and the two round diamonds on your open band echo the round side stones on the engagement ring, so the round-marquise-round rhythm carries across both rings. Worn together they give you five diamonds across the finger without adding bulk.
What does toi et moi mean on a wedding band?
Toi et moi is French for "you and me." The two-stone design has stood for a pair since Napoleon gave one to Joséphine in 1796. On a wedding band it says the same thing the vows do: two stones, one ring, the space between them held by the same piece of gold. It also wears well on its own, as a promise ring or an anniversary ring, if you want it without the engagement ring.
How big are the diamonds, and what quality are they?
Each diamond is a 2.5 millimeter round brilliant Lab-Grown Diamond, about 0.06 carat apiece and roughly 0.12 carat total. They are D to F color and VS clarity or better, the same grade range as the side stones on the matching engagement ring, so the whites line up when the rings sit together. Stones under one carat arrive uncertified; every diamond is checked by hand under magnification before it is set.
How is it set, and will the diamonds stay put?
Each diamond sits in its own four-prong head with an open gallery underneath, so light enters from the sides as well as the top. The prongs are shaped and tightened at the bench, then polished round so they will not catch on sweaters or hair. The heads are built into the band itself rather than soldered on, which keeps the open ends strong where they take the most wear.
Is an open band comfortable to wear every day?
Your band is 2 millimeters wide with a clean, flat top and softened inside edges, so it sits low against your engagement ring. It is made in your exact US size rather than as a one-size adjustable piece, so it wears like a closed band and will not spin or slide open. Order it in the same size and metal as your engagement ring for a perfect match.
Which metal should you choose?
Match your engagement ring first. Yellow gold gives the warmest contrast against white diamonds and is the color shown on the hand. White gold is rhodium plated for a bright, cool finish. Rose gold softens the set and flatters warm skin tones. Platinum is the heaviest, most naturally white option and will never need replating.
How is it made?
Your band is designed in CAD, cast in solid 14K gold or platinum, then set and finished by hand in our Woodside, Queens workshop. It is made to order in 7 to 10 business days and ships in a jewelry pouch with free insured shipping. Resizing is complimentary within 60 days of delivery, and every piece is covered by our lifetime warranty.
