Add strings between curly braces using string formatter in c#

Question

I have a requirement to concat two string values and these values should be placed between curly braces, I'm trying to define string format as a constant and passing the string values, I have tried many formats but always am getting Invalid Input Parameter exception. Is that possible to do the following using string formatter ? if then how ?

private const string formatString = "'{'{0}'}''{'{1}'}'";

string str1 = "John";
string str2 = "[email protected]";

string resultString = string.Format(formatString, str1, str2);

Expected Output

{John}{[email protected]}

You must escape it using double curly braces.

private const string formatString = "{{{0}}}{{{1}}}";

You have to escape { and } in order to use them on string.Format

private const string formatString = "{{{0}}}{{{1}}}";
