Now and then

The history of the Toi et Moi ring goes back several centuries and began when Napoleon gave a ring with this design to his wife in the 18th century. His choice of wife, a woman six years his senior with two children from a previous marriage, was not widely accepted, and the ring became a symbol of ‘you and me against the world’ for them.. The history has since been marked by famous people who have chosen the Toi et Moi ring, and here are some of the more contemporary names:

Ariana Grande - In December 2020, Ariana Grande got engaged to her boyfriend Dalton Gomez. The ring, with a 3.0ct oval diamond and a pearl from her grandfather's tie pin, has a beautiful and personal design.

Kylie Jenner - Travis Scott proposed to his girlfriend Kylie Jenner with a Toi et Moi ring featuring a 4.0ct radiant-cut diamond combined with a 4.0ct pear-cut diamond. Her daughter received a matching mini version of the ring.

Megan Fox - Machine Gun Kelly chose to combine two pear-shaped stones in the ring for Megan Fox, one stone is a 4.0ct emerald (her birthstone) and the other a 3.0ct diamond (his birthstone).

Emily Ratajkowski - Perhaps the most talked-about Toi et Moi ring of them all, Emily Ratajkowski's ring, which she designed herself together with her husband Sebastian Bear-McClard. The ring has a 3.0ct pear-shaped diamond and a 2.0ct princess-cut diamond.

The symbolism of the two-stone ring

Toi et Moi means ‘you and me,’ which makes it perfect as an engagement or wedding ring. The two stones side by side are a beautiful symbol of how you and your partner stand by each other through life.

However, the two-stone ring does not have to carry romantic symbolism; the two stones may represent your children, a close friendship or a strong bond with a sister.
