Toi et moi, meaning "you and me" in French, is a design style built around two diamonds of different or contrasting shapes set side by side in a single piece. In stud form, that pairing sits directly on the earlobe, giving the earring a distinctive dual-stone silhouette rather than a single centred diamond.
What Defines a Toi et Moi Stud
Toi et moi studs centre the design on two distinct diamond shapes set together as one composition. Each earring pairs two distinct or contrasting shapes, such as a pear and a round, or a pear and an emerald cut, so both stones read as a single composition. This is different from halo diamond earrings, which build brilliance around a single centre stone, and from cluster diamond earrings, which group several smaller stones together. The focus remains on the contrast between the two stones, rather than the surrounding cluster or halo arrangement.
Lab-Grown Diamonds in Toi et Moi Design
Each diamond in the Evermore toi et moi edit is lab-grown and selected for cut precision and consistent brilliance. Because the design relies on two visible shapes rather than one, the proportions, alignment, and finish of both stones contribute directly to how balanced the finished earring looks.
Styling Toi et Moi Studs
The dual-shape design gives toi et moi studs a more directional look than a classic round or single-shape stud, so they suit those who want a distinctive everyday earring without moving into a drop or dangler style. Because the pairing itself is the design detail, they work well worn alone, without competing for attention against other jewellery.
Choosing a Toi et Moi Stud
For stronger contrast, choose visibly different shapes such as pear and emerald cut. For a softer pairing, look for shapes with similar proportions or curved profiles. For everyday wear, balanced proportions that sit comfortably on the lobe tend to work best, while elongated shapes such as pear give the design a more directional look.

Evermore toi et moi studs are backed by our trade-in programme and lifetime care, so the piece can be maintained and upgraded as your jewellery collection grows.
