Updated Oct 19, 202033 Gorgeous Two Stone Engagement Rings to Nail the Toi Et Moi Trend
What's better than one center stone? Two.
Still obsessing over Ariana Grande's pearl and diamond engagement ring? You aren't alone. Two stone engagement rings, also called Toi et Moi rings (that's French for you and me), are appearing on fingers everywhere. Get the deets on the symbolism and history behind this unexpected setting—plus shop our favorite two stone engagement rings you can add to your cart right now.
What Is a Two Stone Engagement Ring?
One of the hottest engagement ring trends of 2021, two stone engagement rings have two major pros: they offer twice the sparkle and are easily personalized with different stone shapes and colors. Besides their megawatt shine and inherently unique feel, two stone engagement rings or Toi et Moi rings also have a wedding-worthy, sentimental meaning. The two central gems that sit side by side or close to each other symbolize two souls becoming one, connection and—most importantly—love.
While this setting is all the rage in 2021, it actually has a long history dating back hundreds of years, as well as several famous fans. Napoleon Bonaparte put two stone engagement rings on the map when he proposed to Josephine de Beauharnais with a sapphire and diamond ring in 1796. In 1953 First Lady Jackie Kennedy debuted her iconic two-stone stunner, featuring an emerald-cut emerald and an emerald-cut diamond. In 2018, Sebastian Bear-Mcclard popped the question to Emily Ratajkowski with a princess-cut and pear-shaped diamond Toi et Moi ring. And of course, we've already covered Ariana Grande's standout sparkler, composed of a pearl from her grandmother and a beautiful oval diamond.
