What Does Toi et Moi Mean?

Toi et moi is a French word and it means "you and me."

Toi et moi engagement rings include two diamonds. It includes one for each person, set side by side on a single band. Both of those stones are independent but joined. It's the most literal symbolism in ring design, which is much of the appeal.

The stones can match or contrast. Different shapes is the more popular choice, since the point is two individuals rather than a matched pair.

The History Behind Toi et Moi Rings

This came from one story in 1796, from Napoleon's proposal to Joséphine with a toi et moi ring, a pear-cut diamond beside a pear-cut sapphire on a plain gold band.

The design came back into focus when the ring reappeared at auction in 2013 and sold much over expectations. A run of high-profile celebrity engagements since then did the rest. Toi et moi engagement rings are now one of the oldest designs still in regular production.

Popular Two-Stone Shape Pairings

Pairing	Effect
Round + pear	The classic; soft against pointed
Emerald + pear	Architectural beside a curve; most striking
Oval + pear	Both elongated, so the ring spans the finger
Princess + pear	Sharp geometry against a soft point
Round + oval	Subtlest; two soft shapes, gentle contrast

Our pick: round with pear for the classic. Emerald with pear if you want people to ask about it.

Why Lab-Grown Suits Toi et Moi Rings

It's why lab-grown toi et moi engagement rings are now the default for this setting rather than the compromise.
