Toi et Moi Engagement Rings South Africa
Toi et Moi means ‘you and me’ in French. The style places two stones side by side on a single band, each representing one person in the relationship. It is one of the most romantic and personal engagement ring designs in fine jewellery. At Moissanite by Design, every Toi et Moi ring is made to order in South Africa. Every design starts with a consultation and a 3D CAD render you approve before production begins. Custom designs and fully bespoke rings are both available.
The Symbolism of Two Stones
The dual-stone design has deep historical roots. Napoleon Bonaparte proposed to Josephine de Beauharnais with a Toi et Moi ring in 1796. The design pairs two different stone shapes, creating a ring that is both complementary and deeply personal. Emerald and pear, oval and round, princess and marquise. The combination is yours to choose.
Moissanite Toi et Moi Rings
Moissanite Toi et Moi rings are the most popular choice at Moissanite by Design. Moissanite has a refractive index of 2.65, higher than diamond's 2.42. When two moissanite stones sit side by side, the combined fire and brilliance is extraordinary. All our moissanite is GRA certified D colour VVS1 clarity. Moissanite Toi et Moi rings start from R18,950.
Lab Diamond Toi et Moi Rings
Lab diamond Toi et Moi rings use IGI or GIA certified lab-grown diamonds that are physically, chemically and optically identical to mined diamonds. You can also combine a moissanite stone with a lab diamond stone in the same ring. Lab diamond Toi et Moi rings start from R21,995.
Popular Toi et Moi Stone Combinations
The emerald and pear combination is our most popular: the architectural emerald balances the soft teardrop pear beautifully. Oval and pear is close behind. Marquise with pear creates a dramatic, elongated silhouette. Heart and baguette is a unique choice for those who want something truly distinctive.
