What is a you and me ring?
The "you and me" or "you and me" ring has long been considered the ideal engagement ring. It is towards this model that Napoleon turned to ask Josephine de Beauharnais in marriage. Today, the popularity of the you and me ring remains, because it has been able to adapt to current trends.
How does the you and me ring look like?
The you and me ring is so called because the ring is set with not one, but two stones. They are supposed to represent the man and the woman and thus generally have the same size. The stones can take different shapes, with a pear, round or heart cut. Perfectly able to serve as an engagement ring like that of Joséphine de Beauharnais, this ring materializes the solidarity of the spouses and will thus make a perfect gift for a wedding anniversary or Valentine's Day.
How does the current you and me ring look like?
Like all models of vintage rings, the you and me ring has changed slightly to adapt to new trends. If at the base the stones were placed side by side and opposite each other, today they intertwine or are offset from each other. It is not uncommon to see models whose stones are arranged in the manner of an S.
The shape and size of the two stones are no longer similar. A you and me ring can for example be adorned with a heart-shaped stone and another smaller, rounded one. If traditionally the ring of a you and me ring is closed, this model has been able to adapt to current fashion. There are currently very trendy pieces with an open ring with a stone at each end.
