The 'Toi et Moi' style, which translates to 'you and me' in French, has seen a resurgence in popularity among modern romantics. Its design, featuring two stones, it symbolises the coming together of two souls in love and partnership. “t’s a very modern choice of ring although the style dates back to the 1700s,” says Dutta.
Jewellery designer Emma Clarkson Webb tells Hello! Fashion, “The 'Toi et Moi' style is still emerging as a popular design choice in 2024.” Likewise Rachel Boston, Founder of Rachel Boston Jewellery explains, “People are moving away from the traditional dainty solitaire, and are being more daring with their engagement ring choices, which is lovely to see.” Boston continues, “I'm glad we're moving in the direction where someone's engagement ring reflects their personal style, rather than checking off boxes of what said ring ‘should’ look like. We've definitely seen an uptick in more playful styles, like Toi et Moi, halo rings, or multi-stone rings, which allow for endless combinations of colours and shapes.”
The 'Toi et Moi' design has adorned the hands of many through the centuries, including famous figures and celebrities who favour its symbolic representation of union and its stylish aesthetic. The design speaks to a narrative of togetherness, making it a sentimental favourite for couples looking to embark on a lifelong journey as one.
Waterhouse's ring represents a blend of traditional elegance and contemporary style. Their story, now possibly turning a new chapter with this engagement, mirrors the timeless allure of the 'Toi et Moi' – two distinct individuals coming together to form a beautiful, singular story.
