Describe the dimensions of the jewellery you imagine in centimetres or millimetres. This will help us calculate the approximate weight of gold needed for its manufacture.
In the table, we have presented the inner diameter of each ring size and the corresponding European size (the size number corresponds to the inner circumference of the ring). For us, the only accurate method to determine the correct size is the use of jewellery measurements. All other methods we have tried result in minimal to significant deviations.
If you have a ring that fits, measure its inner diameter with a caliper.
*For orders we have already taken, we can provide and send jeweller’s measurements for you to take an accurate measurement.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact us for assistance.

Choosing a bracelet length is important, as most bracelets are difficult to shorten and lengthen. Below, we have outlined the recommended steps to help you determine the right length for your wrist.
If you have a bracelet that fits perfectly, measure its length including the clasp.
* Note that there may be a slight difference between your left and right wrist.
The choice of necklace length may depend on the characteristics of your body and the features of the jewellery. As a guide, we have graphically depicted the standard lengths of chains to help you visualize your options.
Today we would like to introduce you to a wonderful ring model that has come back into fashion in recent years, namely the "Toi et Moi" style ring. In our opinion, this piece of jewellery is an ideal Valentine's Day gift because of the symbolism it holds.
Translated from French, "Toi et Moi" means " You and Me" and as the name suggests, the style is very romantic. What could be more romantic than a ring where two stones meet to symbolize the union of two lovers? For this reason, "Toi et Moi" rings are becoming an increasingly popular choice for an engagement ring and more...
The ring features two stones set side by side, complementing each other like two lovers' hearts complement each other. The stones can be diamonds or another type of colored gemstone. In the traditional "Toi et Moi" the two stones are different in appearance but the same size and cut. Nowadays, however, jewelers play with contrasts in the cut, size and orientation of the stones in relation to each other for a more contemporary look.
"Toi et Moi" are popular today, but the pattern originated in the 18th century when Napoleon Bonaparte gave a ring in this style to his first wife, Josephine. On the inside of the ring was engraved a message reading "You and me, forever". The jewel was purchased when Napoleon Bonaparte was a general in the French army and did not have much money. The ring, which he gave to Josephine, is set with a diamond and sapphire in a drop-shaped setting in gold. The two stones have a combined weight of less than one carat and despite the ring's modesty, according to some appraisers, it was auctioned in 2013 for $1 million.
After Napoleon, President Kennedy brought this style back into fashion. The ring with which he proposed marriage to Jacqueline Lee Bouvier was modeled after a Van Cleef & Arpels ring. It consists of a 2.88-carat diamond and a 2.84-carat emerald, both emerald-cut, on a white gold band set with diamonds.
And speaking of more recent times, in recent years several celebrities have decided to bet on this very model of rings to propose marriage to their halves. Now, we present to you some of them.
In 2018, Sebastian Bear-McClard proposed marriage to model Emily Ratajkowski with a "Toi et Moi" ring featuring a 2-carat princess-cut diamond and a 3-carat pear-cut diamond set at a slight angle. The breathtaking piece of jewellery was designed by Alison Lowe. This new take on a classic jewel brings it back into fashion.
And speaking of unconventional "Toi et Moi" style combinations , the ring Ariana Grande received in her marriage proposal is just that. It consists of a classic gold band that features a tilted oval diamond and a pearl set next to it. The pearl in this delicate ring is sentimental to the singer as it belonged to her grandmother.
We can't miss Megan Fox's engagement ring! It features the birthstones of the actress and her fiancé MGK- hers is an emerald and his is a diamond. The gemstones are pear cut and together resemble a heart shape. They are mounted on personally crafted rings, with each stone on a separate ring. The rings resemble thorns in shape and connect to each other using embedded hidden magnets. The design is the idea of MGK.
Travis Scott presents Kylie Jenner and their daughter Stormi with matching "Toi et Moi" style rings. Kylie's stunning ring features large pear and radiant-cut diamonds, valued at 4.5 carats each. Stormi's "mini" version for "Mommy and Me" includes the same type of cut diamonds, valued at 1.5 carats each.
We can't fail to boast about our contribution to this trend. Here are some of our authentic Efir "Toi et Moi" style rings that we custom made for our customers.
Let us present you the first jewel we created in this style. Our client contacted us to create a bespoke piece of jewellery to celebrate the birth of her son. We created this 14k white gold ring with pastel morganite and tanzanite as the center stones, and hidden initials on the back of the bezel. We think the result is more than lovely!
Another custom creation of ours! The ring is made of 14 carat gold with oval Ethiopian emerald and amethyst cut in a heart shape. Unconventional, but so favorite!
And our latest creation! This so delicate ring has a total weight of 0.27 carats of high quality diamonds- 0.11ct pear shaped diamond and 0.16ct in emerald cut. The stones are mounted on a clear yellow gold band. It's hard to describe how gorgeous it is in person. It is suitable for everyday wear as well as special occasions.
And last - a heart-shaped diamond and pear-shaped ruby ring that we made-to-order for our client on the occasion of the birth of her daughter. Is there anything better than giving your children a piece of jewellery with a story?
The "Toi et Moi" style is a combination that makes a ring more personal and authentic. If you think it's a suitable gift for your better half on Valentine's Day, you can contact us to discuss your idea!
