Romantic and symbolic, Toi et Moi engagement rings are having a big moment right now. The French phrase “Toi et Moi” translates to “you and me”. At a glance, this ring looks like a two-stone ring. Although it features two stones, the thing that makes it unique is the way it is designed. A coiled band features two stones situated side by side, where the band meets around the finger. The style symbolises not just you and your love but also the way that you are forever entwined.
This engagement ring may be popular right now but it is not a new style by any means. In fact, it dates back to 1796, when Napoleon Bonaparte presented one to Josephine de Beauharnais, in one of the most iconic proposals of our time.
Why You’ll Love Toi et Moi Engagement Rings
Take a look at these Toi et Moi engagement rings to see just how breathtaking they are…
Diamond and Sapphire

This ring features a rose gold band, with two solitaire stones – sapphire and diamond. With a more traditional style, the ring has colour without being too bold. The balance between rose gold and sapphire makes it even more unique.
Radiant Pear

One of the most timeless versions, this ring features a brilliant-cut diamond and a pear-cut diamond. A gleaming platinum band is encrusted with tiny pave diamonds near the stones. Although it works well on a cool-toned band, it would work well with any metal.
White and Green

If you’re looking to add some subtle colour, coloured diamonds are a great choice. In this ring, two oval diamonds are set on a pave band. One is a traditional white diamond while the other is a very soft green. The colour makes it minimal without being boring. It’s the perfect balance of soft, pastel colours.
Double Solitaire

Another take on solitaire Toi et Moi rings is this minimal design. A winding, delicate yellow gold band features a larger diamond at the top with a smaller diamond at the bottom. Modern brides and those who prefer understated jewellery will love this one.
Pave Trillion

Trillion or triangle-cut rings are unconventional and interesting. Like many other geometric styles, the sharp angles at plenty of visual appeal. These stones are surrounded by tiny pave diamonds, on cool-toned platinum or white gold band.
Oval and Emerald

For a twist on the classic two-stone style, this ring features an oval-cut diamond set at an angle, with an emerald-cut emerald, also at an angle. The two stones meet in this design. A yellow gold band forms the perfect backdrop, without clashing with the deep green of the emerald.
Modern Pave

If you’re more into rings that make a bold statement, this gorgeous rose gold pave ring will always stand out. A delicate band leads up to a round bezel-set diamond surrounded by a halo. Touching the stone is a geometric diamond, with two halos.
