Spoiler alert: We’ll never say no to a toi et moi. French for “you and me”, this classic ring style features two stones set together. And with so many gems to choose from, toi et moi’s are incredibly versatile.
Tezza Barton, lifestyle influencer (and Forbes 30 under 30 business founder, no less), is the epitome of an it-girl. We partnered with her this season to fulfill her latest jewelry fixation: a custom toi et moi stackable ring set.
Perfection is an understatement. Here’s a behind the scenes look at her design process:

The Design Process:
Tezza entered the June Studio from the comfort of her LA home. After selecting her Engagement Collection favorites, she knew she wanted a toi et moi set. She envisioned two separate diamond solitaires designed to fit together—or wear apart, if she wanted to change the look.
Tezza tried on a variety of June 3D prints to see how different diamond shapes looked on hand. Her favorites? Marquise and elongated cushion cut. Her personal design consultant created a digital rendering set with dainty rounded bands.
For the cushion stacker, Tezza considered a champagne diamond and bezel setting, but ultimately wanted the rings to look more uniform. We increased the size of the cushion stone and set both white diamonds with compass prongs.
Into Production:
Tezza reviewed the design with June’s 3D rendering software. After her final approval, her toi et moi entered the production stage. Our goldsmiths were hard at work crafting the ring with premium materials: a 3.95 carat old mine cut marquise diamond, a 3.51 carat brilliant cut elongated cushion diamond, and 14K yellow gold.
