Toi et Moi Engagement Rings
About Toi et Moi Engagement Rings
Toi et moi means you and me. The ring sets two diamonds side by side, often in different shapes such as a pear and an emerald cut, to stand for two people coming together. The style dates back to the 18th century and is one of the most personal engagement ring choices today.
Our Amira sets a pear or an oval beside a round on a curving wave band, and the Ivy turns a pear sideways on a wide, flat band with a small round tucked against it. The Vega runs a pear and an emerald cut lengthwise along the finger, and the Nova bypass sets a larger oval, pear or marquise above a smaller round, like a ribbon of gold with a diamond at each end. Each is made to order in our Chicago studio in about 4 to 6 weeks, in 14k or 18k gold or platinum, with lab-grown or natural diamonds.

Toi et Moi Questions
What does toi et moi mean?
It is French for you and me. The two stones stand for two people joined in one ring.
Do the two stones need to match?
No. Many couples pair two different shapes, such as a pear and an emerald cut, or two diamonds of different sizes.
Is a toi et moi ring traditional?
Yes. It has a long history: Napoleon gave Joséphine one in 1796. Today it is chosen as a personal alternative to a solitaire.
Is a toi et moi the same as a two-stone ring?
Yes. Toi et moi is the French name for a two-stone ring: two stones of equal importance, set side by side or slightly offset, instead of one center stone with accents.
Should the two stones be the same size?
They don’t have to be. Two similar stones share the attention equally, while a larger and a smaller stone feel more like a pair with a lead, as in the Nova.
Does a wedding band sit flush with a toi et moi ring?
Often not, because the two stones spread across the finger and the band often curves. A curved or contoured wedding band fits around it, or you can wear a straight band with a small gap, which is part of the look.
Can I design my own toi et moi ring?
Yes. In Design Your Ring you can pair two stones in a toi et moi design, or plan a custom ring with us by video or phone.
