Our favourite Toi et Moi rings
Turelle
The magnificent Turelle ring makes a case for unforgettable engagement jewellery. A glistening token of matrimonial commitment, the Turelle plays with the foundations of the ‘Toi et Moi’ ring, preserving the signature two gemstones, which are positioned side by side to represent the union of two lovers.
The two centre gemstones are gracefully slanted to refract the light from all angles and are set on the classic slim solitaire. Equal parts modern and timeless, the Turelle is a highly romantic choice for couples looking to encapsulate every facet of their story.
The Turelle Ring
Popularized by Napoleon in the 18th century, the ‘toi et moi’ style is a timeless style steeped in history and romance, featuring two gemstones, which are positioned side by side to symbolize the meeting of two lovers. Deriving its name from the French word ‘tourelle’, meaning ‘turret’ or ‘small tower’, the unique Turelle ring is inspired by fantastical castle turrets and available in 18kt yellow, white and rose gold and platinum, with a filigree setting for an elegant finish.
The sparkling pear diamond and 0.95ct emerald cut blue, yellow or pink sapphire are held in place at the centre with eagle claws and are perfectly slanted to gracefully capture the light from all angles.
Peratrice
Wonderfully elegant, the Peratrice engagement ring is perfect for couples who are searching for something equally classic and unconventional. This highly wearable ring is a study of form in design and is built on the trademark two-stoned design of the romantic ‘Toi et Moi’ ring, with a brilliant bezel ‘kissing’ pear stone setting to symbolize the meeting of two people.
Redefined with an architectural essence and contemporary approach, the Peratrice is a colorful, artistic alternative to the traditional solitaire style and is as unique as the special bond between two lovers.
The Peratrice Ring
A variation on the French word ‘impératrice’ meaning ‘empress’, the Peratrice ring takes its name from Napoleon’s wife Empress Josephine, who sported one of the first ‘toi et moi’ engagement rings. Meaning ‘you and me’ in French, the ‘toi et moi’ style is a timeless devotion of love and symbolizes the union of two people on account of its signature two-stone design.
The unique Peratrice ring can be set in platinum or 18kt yellow, white or rose gold with a bezel ‘kissing’ pear stone setting and is characterized with a magnificent pear-shaped diamond and a 0.70ct pear-shaped blue sapphire at the centre.
Drawing inspiration from sculptural and angular forms, the Peratrice promises endless practicality and wearability and is underscored with an architectural essence, adding a clean and contemporary twist to a time-honoured style.

The Besso Ring
A one-of-a-kind design, the Besso pavé ring seamlessly marries old-world charm with modern organic undertones. The Besso borrows its name from the Catalan word for ‘twin’ and is an ethereal approach to the classic ‘toi et moi’ engagement ring.
Crafted with a dainty slim band and unique composition, the Besso can be set in platinum or 18kt yellow, white or rose gold, with rounded prongs to hold the captivating round diamond and 0.80ct round blue sapphire in place.

Forever appealing, the ‘Toi et Moi’ engagement ring has proved time and again to be the ultimate expression of love.
This centuries-old engagement ring dates to 1796, when Napoleon Bonaparte proposed to Empress Josephine de Beauharnais with the first ‘Toi et Moi’ ring. Meaning ‘you and me’ in French, this classic style comprises two diamonds or gemstones; sitting side by side on a band to represent the meeting of two lovers.
The ring has since garnered newfound attention thanks to its unparalleled sentimentality, romantic backstory and A-list celebrity fanbase—think Ariana Grande, Jackie O, Megan Fox and Kylie Jenner.
