It’s always difficult to make a decision when it comes to picking out a ring but today, we’ll tell you everything you need to know about two stone diamond rings.
What Is a Two Stone Engagement Ring?
A two stone ring is exactly what essentially what it sounds like – a ring with two feature stones. There is however a variety of styles including Toi et Moi rings and twist rings.
Two Stone Cuts
The most popular cut for a diamond two stone ring is the round brilliant cut. This classic cut is known for its unrivalled fire and brilliance and shine without need for over embellishment. As a popular cut for an impressive solitaire, the two stone creates double the impact.
Modern brides have been leaning towards contrasting cuts such as emerald cut diamonds with contrasting pear cut diamonds.
Toi et Moi rings
Toi et Moi rings are a popular two-stone ring style. French for ‘you and me’, the style is often associated with romantic milestones, composed of two stones in a twisted band, symbolising the union of two souls. Recently modern brides have been opting for contrasting cuts like a geometric emerald against a soft pear. Emily Ratajkowski inspired brides with her large Toi et Moi engagement ring which has since been revamped into her divorce ring.
Twist rings
Twist rings are thought to symbolise the intertwining of two lives, making it a popular choice for an engagement ring. Twist rings hold two stones sat next to each other at an angle, often with a twisted shank or setting. Twist rings are often set with further diamonds embellishment along the twist setting or shank shoulders for that extra wow factor.

Jackie Kennedy’s first engagement ring to JFK was a beautiful ring of two emerald cut stones, one a diamond and one an emerald, with a band of baguette cut diamonds.

Alternatively stick with one diamond and one gemstone for that unique twist. This Columbian emerald and diamond twist adds a beautiful pop of colour and is an impressive ring.
