Toi et Moi
Celebrate love in all its form with our modern take on the Toi et Moi style - an incredibly romantic and historic design that represents the coming together of two souls. With a renewed love for Toi et Moi jewellery in recent years, we have applied our signature spin to this iconic style, combining contrasting gemstones and setting them into chunky gold pieces.
History of Toi et Moi
With a rich history rooted in love and symbolism, Toi et Moi jewellery has captured hearts for centuries. The phrase Toi et Moi translates from French to "You and Me," and this design beautifully embodies the unity of two individuals. In jewellery, this sentiment is characterised by two distinct stones set side by side. The Toi et Moi design has a storied past, with its origins dating back to the early 18th century. It first gained widespread attention in 1796 when Napoleon Bonaparte proposed to Joséphine de Beauharnais with a stunning sapphire and diamond Toi et Moi ring, and has since remained a favourite among royalty and high society.
A Contemporary Take
At Minka Jewels, we believe jewellery should tell a story. The Toi et Moi design is a wonderful way to celebrate the individuality of two people while honouring the power of their bond. Taking our signature, structural approach to jewellery design, our Toi et Moi pieces combine colourful, geometrically cut gemstones, set in chunky 18k solid gold.
Our newest made-to-order rings allow for customisation - choose from a pink tourmaline or sapphire, blue tourmaline or tanzanite and green tourmaline or emerald. We will pair your chosen stone with a sparkling diamond to showcase its colour to the very best effect, setting them into a weighty, tactile band.
From its historical significance to its modern-day appeal, the Toi et Moi design remains a classic choice for those who want to express their love in a meaningful way. Whether you're marking a special occasion or simply celebrating a unique connection, this timeless design continues to resonate with lovers and collectors alike.
