Toi et Moi engagement rings are rising in popularity thanks to Megan Fox, Emily Ratajkowski and Ariana Grande who are all rocking double-stone stunners on their left hands! Toi et Moi is French and translates to “You and Me.” We can’t think of a more perfect translation for an engagement ring!
What is a Toi Et Moi ring?
Toi et Moi is a ring that consists of two gems that are either side by side or close together. The double stones symbolize two souls that are intertwined as one. Talk about romantic!!
We asked Ring Concierge’s CEO and Founder, Nicole Wegman, what she thinks about this lasted trend and she had this to say:
“Toi et Moi rings are a huge trend right now,” says Wegman. “The design originated from Napoleon Bonaparte in 1796 as a symbol of ‘two souls bound together against all odds’. Machine Gun Kelly personalized the design with a Pear Cut Emerald to represent Megan’s birthstone complimented by a Pear Cut Diamond, his own birthstone.
We foresee women purchasing this ring for themselves as a right hand ring because it feels less bridal than a traditional engagement ring, trending more towards a cocktail statement ring. We anticipate a more simplistic version growing in popularity than Megan’s design which was tailored to her personal style.”
Who proposed with Toi et Moi rings?
Toi et Moi rings first gained popularity when Napoleon Bonaparte proposed to Josephine with two pear-shaped stones, a diamond and a sapphire, set side by side. It was epic then and it’s epic now! In more modern days, celebrities like Megan Fox, Ariana Grande, Emily Ratajkowski and Kylie Jenner all wear Toi et Moi rings gifted by their partners.
Ariana’s ring was designed by her husband Dalton Gomez along with Solow & Co. It has a pearl and a diamond. It is believed that the pearl is from her grandmother – and a pearl is also Ariana’s birthstone. It really looks stunning with the oval-shaped diamond!
Model Emily Ratajkowski was proposed to by Sebastian Bear-McClard with a stunning custom-made two-stone ring. Her ring features one pear-shaped stone next to a princess-cut stone on a thick gold band. Ratajkowski said this about her ring, “We loved the idea of the femininity of the pear contrasted with the architecture of the princess.”
What trends are you seeing with Toi et Moi rings?
We chatted with Jillian Sassone of Marrow Fine (one of our favorite spots to get the most on-trend, modern yet timeless rings) to see what she is currently seeing with Toi et Moi rings. Jillian shared this with us, “I’m seeing interesting shape and color combinations: like an antique old mine cut diamond with a Montana sapphire pear for example. I love the unexpected pairings and the sweet symbolism of these designs.” We couldn’t agree more!
