Venus | Grey spinel & diamond toi et moi engagement ring

Balancing contrast and symmetry, this toi et moi engagement ring brings together two distinctive gemstones in a sculptural, contemporary composition, handcrafted to order in our Sydney studio in your choice of 18k yellow, rose or white gold, or platinum.

Set with handpicked natural gemstones, each ring begins with the careful pairing of stones - selected for their colour, proportion and harmony. Inspired by the timeless beauty of Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus, the design explores the relationship between contrast and balance, uniting two elements in a refined, asymmetric form.

Shown here with a natural pear cut grey spinel and a natural pear cut white diamond, the composition highlights the interplay between soft graphite tones and bright, clean brilliance. Grey spinel is prized for its understated, shifting colour - displaying warm grey hues that evolve subtly in different lighting.

The mirrored pear shapes create a sense of fluid symmetry, while the opposing orientation of the stones introduces a gentle asymmetry, giving the ring its distinctive, sculptural character.

Elegant and expressive, this design offers a modern interpretation of the classic toi et moi style - equally suited as an engagement ring or a distinctive right-hand piece.
