Translating to ‘you and me’ in French, Toi Et Moi rings are increasingly popular today as they offer an incredibly romantic way to express your commitment and devotion to your partner.
The concept is simple – they are two-stone rings that showcase two contrasting or complementing gemstones, placed side by side and bound together by precious metal. They are said to symbolize the union of two souls.
History of Toi Et Moi Rings
Considering the mismatched aesthetics and contemporary appeal, it’s quite natural to think that Toi Et Moi rings are a recent trend. However, they first made an appearance in the 18th century when Napoleon Bonaparte proposed to a widow named Joséphine de Beauharnais. He presented her with a ring that featured a pear-shaped blue sapphire and a diamond.
Napolean’s fiancée was six years older than him and had two children from her previous marriage. His family was fiercely against this union. However, the future Emperor of France was smitten and they were married after three weeks.
In the 20th century, Toi Et Moi rings became immensely popular as engagement rings. It served as the perfect jewelry piece to represent the coming together of two souls.
Design of Toi Et Moi Rings
Traditionally, the design of Toi Et Moi rings featured two gemstones of a similar size and cut. It symbolized balance and equality. However, today, one can find these rings in a variety of combinations. Contrasts are deliberately created in the size, color, and shape of the gems to give these rings an elevated sense of style. In some cases, gemstones are juxtapositioned with motifs, like flowers or insects, for a unique look.
