When Did the First Toi et Moi Ring Appear? - sophiadavis012 - 2025/04/29
The first Toi et Moi ring is widely believed to have appeared in 1796 , when Napoleon Bonaparte proposed to Joséphine de Beauharnais . This iconic engagement ring features two pear-cut stones — a diamond and a sapphire — set side by side on a gold band. The design, whose name translates from French as "You and Me," was a deeply romantic gesture, symbolizing the union of two souls.
Napoleon's ring for Joséphine is considered the earliest and most famous historical example of the Toi et Moi style. While the concept of multi-stone rings existed earlier in various cultures, this particular piece is credited with popularizing the toi et moi engagement rings in Western jewelry, especially among European aristocracy.
The ring's meaning — representing two people coming together in love — continues to inspire modern interpretations of this design today.
