Pear & Asscher Cut Toi Et Moi Classic

When two become one.

The Toi Et Moi engagement ring — French for you and me — featuring two diamonds set side by side on a slim 2mm half-round band of solid gold or platinum. A 1.5ct pear in a four-claw setting, a 1.5ct Asscher in a clean bezel: two completely different shapes, two completely different settings, beautifully held together. Soft curve meets sharp corner. Brilliant cut meets step cut. You meets me.

The toi et moi has a history almost as romantic as the symbolism. Napoleon proposed to Joséphine with one in 1796, Jackie Kennedy and Carolyn Bessette wore them, and the design has had a major contemporary revival as the engagement ring for those who don't want a single solitary stone. Two diamonds. Two stories. The most quietly romantic engagement ring in fine jewellery.

Handcrafted to order in our Sydney workshop by our master jeweller — thirty-plus years at the bench, leading a team of designers and setters who hand-make every Deltora ring. Choose your diamonds (natural or lab grown), your two cuts, your metal, and we'll bring it to life by hand.

Frequently asked

What is a Toi Et Moi engagement ring? A Toi Et Moi engagement ring is a two-stone engagement ring featuring two diamonds set side by side, often in different shapes. The name is French for you and me and the design symbolises the union of two souls. Also called a two-stone or duo engagement ring.

Why pair a pear cut with an Asscher cut? The pairing is a study in contrast: the pear is a brilliant-cut, soft-curved, romantic shape; the Asscher is a step-cut, sharp-cornered, architectural shape. Setting them side by side creates beautiful visual tension — soft meets sharp, brilliant meets step-cut, curve meets corner — and gives the ring a distinct you and me visual story.

Who has worn a Toi Et Moi engagement ring? Napoleon famously proposed to Joséphine with a Toi Et Moi (a pear-and-emerald cut) in 1796. Jackie Kennedy received a marquise-and-emerald version, Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy wore one, and the design has had a major contemporary revival worn by Emily Ratajkowski, Ariana Grande, and Megan Fox.

Can I customise the diamond cuts? Yes — every Deltora Toi Et Moi is handcrafted to order. The pear-and-Asscher pairing pictured is one of our favourites, but you can specify any combination of two cuts: oval and pear, round and emerald, marquise and round, two ovals, two pears — whichever pairing tells your story best.

What carat weight suits a Toi Et Moi? Both stones equal in weight (like the matched 1.5ct pair shown) reads symmetrical and balanced. Mismatched stones (one larger, one smaller) reads more obviously you and me. Either way, individual stones from 0.5ct to 2ct work beautifully — our diamond concierge can help you find the right scale.

Will a Toi Et Moi sit alongside a wedding band? Yes — the medium profile and slim 2mm band mean a flat or slightly contoured wedding band will sit comfortably alongside it. Our diamond concierge can design a wedding band specifically to nestle against your toi et moi.

Can I customise this ring? Yes — every Deltora engagement ring is handcrafted to order. Choose your diamond shapes, carats, settings (claw, bezel, or mixed), metal, band width, and any custom detail.
