Although the origins of the Toi & Moi ring span centuries, it was in 1796 that this design began capturing the hearts and imaginations of European nobility. That year, a young Napoleon Bonaparte proposed to Joséphine de Beauharnais with an exquisite gold ring, featuring two pear-cut gemstones nestled next to each other: a brilliant white diamond and a deep blue sapphire. Despite resistance from Napoleon’s family, their love prevailed. Just three weeks after the proposal, the couple wed, forever shaping the legacy of the Toi & Moi style. 

Reimagined Throughout the Ages 

Over time, master artisans have continuously re-envisioned the Toi & Moi ring. The design has gone through numerous iterations — featuring a variety of precious gemstones, asymmetry, settings, and embellishments, all while reflecting the shifting tastes and aesthetics of each era. One of the most iconic renditions is Jackie Kennedy’s engagement ring — a masterpiece that continues to inspire designs today. Presented to her by John F. Kennedy in the 1950s, this Toi & Moi ring showcased a breathtaking 2.84 ct. emerald alongside a 2.88 ct. diamond, both emerald-cut and elegantly set on a baguette-studded band. It remains a quintessential design dedicated to celebrating an extraordinary love story.

Everlasting Appeal 

Initially, gifting a Toi & Moi ring was a romantic gesture. However, it has since become more than just that. In recent years, celebrities like Megan Fox, Solange Knowles, Ariana Grande, and Kylie Jenner have donned the design, each infusing it with their own personal narratives, style, and values. As its popularity grows, the Toi & Moi ring is becoming a statement piece that pays tribute to different forms of love — from romantic relationships to the bond between a parent and child. 

A Tale of Two Stones  

At the heart of the Toi & Moi ring are the two central gemstones, each symbolizing one half of a profound connection. Whether it's a vivid pink diamond paired with a pristine white diamond or a vibrant emerald set with a luminous diamond, the juxtaposition of stones sparks a captivating visual and energetic dialogue. Ensuring a delicate balance is key. It not only speaks to aesthetic beauty but also the wearer's personal journey and the affinity of two unique souls.  

Dazzling and Timeless Designs 

A Toi & Moi ring is about weaving two distinct yet complementary entities into one in perfect harmony.
