Toi et Moi: Top 5 Iconic "You and I" Rings
What is Moi Et Toi?
Moi et Toi, better known as Toi et Moi, is French for “you and I.” In other words, a ring that symbolizes each part of a couple. Most of these special rings feature two different style stones, as they are intended to represent two unique people! Some rings have different shaped stones, while others hold different colors! It is up to each couple to decide what best reflects their love.
What is a double stone ring called?
An double stone engagement ring is called a Toi et Moi ring. And, these romantic rings have made a big comeback in recent years! Originally made famous by Napoleon Bonaparte, these two stone engagement rings are the ultimate in romance.
Is it Moi et Toi or Toi et Moi?
It’s Toi et Moi! Otherwise, you’d be saying “I and you,” which just isn’t as lovely (nor is it proper). It is also more romantic to put your partner first!
Are Toi et Moi rings trendy?
While there has been a resurgence of desire for these passionate rings, Toi et Mois have been around for thousands of years! Empress Josephine had the first famous two stone engagement ring back in 1796. And, they became very popular in the Victorian era, when old Europeans diamonds were often stacked vertically or horizontally.
When were Toi et Moi rings popular?
Originally made famous in 1796 when Napoleon Bonaparte proposed to his beloved, Josephine, You & I rings become popular every hundred or so years! And, they remain a classic choice, never failing to catch the attention of everyone who looks.
Top 5 Iconic Toi et Moi Rings
1. Emily Ratajkowski
How much is Emily Ratajkowski’s ring worth?
EmRata’s engagement ring (from Sebastian Bear McClard) is set with one princess cut and one pear cut diamond! Chunky and fabulous, these two rocks are nestled upon a yellow gold band. The princess cut stone appears to be around two carats, where the pear looks to be about three. Both appear colorless and eye clean. So, depending upon their exact 4Cs, the ring could be worth upwards of $90,000!
2. Ariana Grande
How many carats is Ariana Grande’s ring?
Ariana Grande’s engagement ring from Dalton Gomez is a unique diamond and pearl Toi et Moi! Holding one elongated super white oval diamond and one pristine white pearl, this ring holds special meaning. Ariana once dreamed her grandfather told her that pearls would protect her! So, it was definitely not by chance that Dalton included it in her engagement ring. The bright white elongated oval diamond appears to be approximately five carats. And the pearl looks to be around 6mm. But because pearls are not normally sold in carats, it is hard to say the true total carat weight!
3. Megan Fox
How many carats is Megan Fox’s engagement ring?
Megan Fox’s engagement ring from Machine Gun Kelly contains a perfectly matched elongated pear diamond and elongated pear emerald. While it’s rare for two stone engagement rings to contain the same type of stone, it’s even rarer for them to be the same shape! In fact, I’ve never seen another emerald Toi et Moi. Designed by rock n’ roll jeweler Stephen Webster, Megan’s ring is actually two in one! I estimate her D color diamond to weight approximately three carats, and her emerald to weigh around two and a half (did you know emeralds weigh less than diamond?). Along with her pave diamond bands, Megan Fox’s total carat weight is about five carats.
4. Jackie Kennedy
How much is Jackie Kennedy’s ring worth?
Jackie Kennedy’s beautiful emerald and diamond engagement ring is one of the most recognizable presidential engagement rings in history. When JFK proposed to Jackie, he knew she loved emeralds. So, he made sure her gorgeous bypass ring included both an 2.84ct emerald cut emerald as well as an 2.88ct emerald cut diamond! Originally accented with baguette cut stones, a dazzling array of marquise cuts were added in 1963. All together, the ring weighs around 8 carats, and is estimated to be worth upwards of $300,000.
5. Josephine Bonaparte
Which gem did Napoleon’s engagement ring have?
Napoleon Bonaparte proposed with a beautiful sapphire and diamond two stone ring! The twin pear shapes are set facing opposite directions, fitting together perfectly. Each stone weighs just under one carat, and the two stones are the center of attention on a simple band. There are no additional accents or gems. Incredibly, this the simple stunner recently sold at auction for $949,000! This is the power or provenance. While the ring itself was valued around $20,000, that it was given by Bonaparte made it worth close to 50 times as much!

Toi et Moi Shape Styles
Traditional Toi et Moi styles include two of the same shape stones. On the other hand, modern two stone rings often contain two different shapes! The most popular pairing right now is pear and emerald, which offers both brilliant and step faceting. However, you can choose any shape you like!
Why this inspires me
I love that the Toi et Moi style keeps being reinvented generation after generation! This classic style always strikes a romantic note. I love that each part of a couple is symbolized in this special kind of ring. Like Megan Fox, you can choose to represent your partner by their birthstone, or like Ariana Grande, you can pick a stone with a special meaning! We’ve even designed two stone rings that reflect lover’s eye colors. How romantic!
