Hers
Twin groove
A single V groove machined around the band, black on one side of it and bright zirconium on the other. Quieter than it sounds and very legible from across a room.

The two rings
His
Stepped two tone
Rather than a groove cut into a flat face, the band is stepped: two distinct levels at different heights, one black and one bright. It reads as architectural rather than decorative.

Twin groove and Stepped two tone, side by side
Each ring divides black zirconium from bright metal along a single line around the band, and that shared split is what makes them a pair. Twin groove does it with a V cut into a flat face: black on one side of the groove, bright on the other, and very legible from across a room. Stepped two tone does it with height, raising one level above the other so the change of colour is also a change of plane. Together, one ring reads as drawn and the other as built, and their halves echo across two hands.
Each ring on its own
Twin groove is a satin black zirconium band with its V groove around the centre, offered from 4 to 10mm. Stepped two tone shares the material, the satin finish and the width range, and reads as architectural rather than decorative. Each is hypoallergenic and noticeably lighter than a gold band of the same size. Either stands alone as a two tone ring with no plating involved anywhere.

Choosing between the options
Width matters more here than with most designs, because both rings depend on a clear division between black and bright. On a wider band each tone gets more room; on a narrow one the contrast becomes a fine line. A couple who prefer the same look on both hands might choose one design twice. The pairing is for those who like the idea of one division, expressed two ways.

About the Twin groove and Stepped two tone rings
- Can I buy just one ring from the Twin groove and Stepped two tone set?
- Yes. Choose hers only or his only above and the ring is made on its own, at its own price (hers from £255, his from £255). The five per cent only comes off when both rings are in the same order.
- Do the two rings have to be the same size?
- No. Each ring is made in its own size, and you choose the two separately. If one of you does not know their size yet, choose I do not know yet and we confirm it before anything is made.
- What is the difference between the two Twin groove and Stepped two tone rings?
- Hers is 4 to 10mm in black zirconium, satin. His is 4 to 10mm in black zirconium, satin. Two tones divided by a V cut around the centre. Paired with stepped two tone.
- How long will the pair take?
- 2 to 3 weeks. The two are made together, so they arrive together, and the slower of the two rings sets the date.
