Toi et Moi Engagement Ring: The 'You and Me' Ring


3 minute read

One contemporary engagement ring style has grabbed the attention and is making wave: the toi et moi engagement ring. Toi et Moi, which translates as you and me in French, has gained immense popularity since celebrities like Emily Ratajkowksi and Megan Fox have been seen sporting them more recently. However, this ring has been around for decades and famously adorned style icons like Jackie Kennedy. 

 

The Style

 

The Toi et Moi ring is recognizable by its two-gemstone appearance. This two-stone ring consistently has gemstones of a similar size, either offset or side-by-side. The gemstones can either be two diamonds, a diamond and a colored gem, or two colored gemstones. Primarily, they are set in 14k or 18k gold or platinum. 

 

The significance behind this two-stone ring is that it can allow you and your partner to choose your own gemstone for the ring or have a gemstone that is important to each of you. For example, Machine Gun Kelly proposed to Megan Fox with a Toi et Moi engagement ring. One side has Fox’s birthstone, a pear-shaped emerald, with Kelly’s pear-shaped birthstone, the diamond, offset from each other. According to the designer, Stephen Webster, the diamond is a colorless, D color, in an antique cut, with the emerald being an untreated Columbian emerald. The engagement ring is estimated to be worth over $67,000.

In another example, Ariana Grande’s engagement ring from Dalton Gomez, her now husband, is a unique spin on the Toi et Moi ring. It features an oval diamond, set next to a pearl. It is rumored that the pearl may have sentimental meaning to Grande, as her grandmother had a pearl ring made for her out of her late grandfather’s tie pin. Fans speculate that this pearl may have been set in this engagement ring.

The ring style may be trending now, but it has been a popular engagement ring style for centuries. French emperor, Napoleon Bonaparte, gifted his first wife, Josephine, a Toi et Moi style engagement ring in 1796, which features a blue sapphire set alongside a diamond. Both stones are around 1 carat each.

John F. Kennedy gifted his wife, Jacqueline (also known as Jackie), a beautiful Toi et Moi style ring in 1953, which features a 2.88ctw emerald cut diamond, offset by an emerald-cut emerald, with around 2.12 carats of baguette, round and marquise diamonds in the setting. This ring is valued to be worth over $1 million.

Though this ring style had been around for centuries, its popularity has been reignited by celebrities and other public figures flashing their engagement ring for everyone to see. The Toi et Moi is famous for its statement look, as well as versatility since any diamond or gemstone shape can be set alongside each other. This can allow for a collaborative engagement ring or even just a fashion ring to have sentimental meaning to the wearer and the one who gifts it.
