Hi everyone

If this thread already exists please let me know! I’ve seen a lot of threads asking for design help and maybe some one off threads sharing finished projects, but I did not see in searches a dedicated thread for photos of PSers beautiful moi et toi and/or cuff ring collections!

Thank you!

I don't have one myself to add but am watching this thread because I have several plans for moi et toi that I want to eventually do.

Much more simple than most, but here’s mine!

This is lovely! I am thinking of converting a pair of rarely worn studs into a ring similar to this, but was unsure how two rounds would look together. So many Toi et Moi rings are stone of different shape/color. Would you share the carat weight of the stones, please?

Sure! They’re each a half carat.

I forgot to mention- this is a size 7, so there’s a good amount of coverage with this carat weight. I didn’t know if it would look substantial but I think it hits a sweet spot for me- not dainty and not honking. I think it would be a nice and relatively inexpensive way to repurpose studs.

This is very helpful, thank you! My studs are also half carat each, and this will help decide what finger to wear it on.

I have 3 sets of CSs waiting to be set if that's allowed (apologies for the terrible pics as I don't have the original photos of the stones to hand, sorry!):

@llamacat -- your toi et moi by Alistair Kelsey is so beautiful!

The two gemstones are perfectly complementary, and I love the artful swirly setting design -- really an heirloom quality piece!

I just checked out AK's Insta page and read that your two stones are Spinels (lovely!), and that the ring is in Platinum, but
would you mind sharing more details, like:
- the ring size?
- and the Spinels' carat weights or mm dimensions?

Thank you

First pic is his glamour shot.

@marymm - thank you, yes it was because the stones match so well with eachother that I decided to do a toi et moi with them. The inspiration for the swirly design were some vintage toi et moi rings.

The stones are Vietnamese spinels, they're both slightly silky but still sparkly. The lavender one is 0.72ct and 5.8mm and the pink is 0.57ct and 5.01mm.

The diamond melee range from 1.1mm to 2.5mm - I've no idea what this works out to in pointers though!

The ring size works out to about US 5.25 I think.

@mjea -

I started this thread a few years ago. There's some great rings in it. :))


And just to add one of my own - this is my Victorian rose gold ring, with a matched pair of 7mm pale pink akoyas from Takahashi. It's divine.

Two of my fave moi et toi rings on PS- I hope @Elysian and @EC8 won’t mind my posting their rings.
