About Toi et Moi Rings
What does a toi et moi ring mean?
A toi et moi ring, translating from French as ‘you and me’, is a romantic and symbolic design featuring two stones, typically diamonds or gemstones, that sit side by side. This design represents the union of two souls, symbolising love and partnership. The toi et moi ring has a rich history and is often chosen for engagements or special anniversaries due to its profound meaning and elegant style.
In essence, the meaning of a toi et moi ring encapsulates the idea of two individuals coming together, making it a deeply personal and sentimental choice for those looking to celebrate their unique connection.
Are toi et moi rings more expensive?
Toi et moi rings can be more expensive than traditional single-stone rings, but this depends on several factors:
Number of stones: Since toi et moi rings feature two main stones, the cost is naturally higher due to the additional gemstone. That said, the cost of one diamond with the same total carat weight as two smaller diamonds is likely considerably more.
Quality of diamonds or gemstones: The price will also depend on the quality (cut, colour, clarity and carat) of the diamonds or gemstones chosen.
Type of diamond or gemstone: two natural diamonds will cost considerably more than two lab diamonds, a diamond and a gemstone such as a sapphire, or two gemstones.
However, with customisation options at Queensmith, you can find or design a toi et moi ring that fits various budgets, making this unique and symbolic style accessible to many couples.
Where do toi et moi rings come from?
The toi et moi ring originated in the late 18th century. One of the earliest and most famous examples is the engagement ring Napoleon Bonaparte gave to Joséphine de Beauharnais in 1796, featuring a diamond and a sapphire. This design symbolises two souls coming together and became popular during the Victorian era for its romantic sentiment. Today, toi et moi rings are cherished for engagements and anniversaries, representing the union and bond between two individuals.
Why are toi et moi rings suddenly so popular?
Toi et moi rings have become popular recently due to several of different reasons. For example, high-profile engagements by celebrities have brought toi et moi rings into the spotlight – such as the toi et moi engagement rings worn by Emily Ratajkowski, Ariana Grande and Megan Fox.
The toi et moi design also offers a deeply personal and romantic symbolism that resonates with modern couples seeking meaningful jewellery. The design allows for a high degree of customisation, so couples can choose different gemstones, shapes and sizes to reflect their unique relationship and personal tastes, making each ring one-of-a-kind.
Additionally, the vintage charm of toi et moi rings fits well with current trends for vintage-inspired jewellery – the ring's historical roots and timeless elegance is the perfect choice for those looking for something with a classic yet distinctive look.
Is a toi et moi ring an engagement ring?
A toi et moi ring is often chosen as an engagement ring due to its romantic symbolism of two individuals coming together. However, it is also popular as a fashion ring, worn on other fingers and created with various gemstones for a unique look at a lower price point. This versatility allows it to be both a meaningful engagement ring and a stylish piece of jewellery for everyday wear.
Can my toi et moi ring have a diamond and a sapphire?
Absolutely, your toi et moi ring can feature a diamond and a sapphire. This combination is popular as it adds a beautiful pop of colour alongside the brilliance of the diamond, creating a striking and personalised piece of jewellery. You’ll also note a lower price point if you combine a diamond and a different gemstone than if you choose two diamonds. The mix of gemstones enhances the ring's unique and romantic appeal.
Which gemstones can I choose for a toi et moi ring?
When choosing gemstones for a toi et moi ring, it's essential to consider their durability. Here are some combinations that are both stunning and high on the Mohs scale, making them suitable for everyday wear:
Diamond and blue sapphire
Diamond and ruby
Diamond and teal sapphire
Diamond and fancy yellow diamond
Diamond and pink sapphire
Diamond and blue diamond
Diamond and green emerald*
* If you’re considering a diamond and emerald toi et moi ring, it’s important to note that while emeralds can be paired with diamonds for a beautiful contrast, they are softer and more prone to chipping and scuffing, especially if you have an active lifestyle. We would recommend a diamond and sapphire toi et moi ring as a stronger alternative – sapphires, rubies and diamonds are all more durable choices.

Jackie Kennedy's engagement ring
Jackie Kennedy's famous antique toi et moi ring featured a 2.84 carat emerald and a 2.88 carat diamond. This historic piece blended timeless elegance with a touch of personal significance. The First Lady’s ring was later upgraded with an additional 2.12 carats worth of marquise and round diamonds to mimic the look of a laurel wreath. It is said to be worth millions.
Kylie Jenner's engagement ring
Kylie was gifted a luxurious two 10 carat diamond toi et moi ring by Travis Scott. Her daughter Stormi was given a miniature 1 carat version of her mom’s engagement ring.

Ariana Grande's engagement ring
Ariana's toi et moi ring included an 8 carat oval diamond paired with a 5 to 6mm pearl and is estimated to be worth around £540,000. While the design was unique and eye-catching, it's worth noting that pearls are very soft, reaching just 2.5 on the Mohs scale, making them unsuitable for everyday wear due to their susceptibility to damage.
