Antique & Vintage Toi et Moi Engagement Rings

Few jewels capture romance as perfectly as the toi et moi ring — French for “you and me.” Featuring two stones set side-by-side, these designs symbolise two souls united in love. The tradition dates back to the 18th century, when Napoleon Bonaparte famously gave Josephine a sapphire-and-diamond toi et moi ring, and continued through the Victorian, Edwardian and Art Deco eras.

Our collection of antique and vintage toi et moi engagement rings showcases this enduring motif in every style — from delicate Georgian gold and diamond twins to bold mid-century combinations of coloured stones and old-cut gems. Each ring tells a story of partnership and devotion, its paired jewels representing harmony and equality.

Every piece is personally curated by gemmologist Zuleika Gerrish FGA DGA, authenticated, and beautifully presented in our signature Parkin & Gerrish pink-and-green box. Complimentary ring sizing and free worldwide DHL Express shipping make these truly timeless tokens of love.
