Toi et moi rings are probably one of the most romantic ‘tokens’ in jewellery. Started by Napoleon & Josephine Bonaparte, these rings are a symbolism for the full commitment, with all that which the other partner brings to the relationship from their life, good and possibly not ideal, but something true love can figure out.
These rings are also often used to represent the children born in a relationship, and the duality of the feminine and masculine essence.
This circa 1930’s Toi et moi ring holds an early round brilliant cut diamond, with an Australian Sapphire, set in 18ct white on yellow gold.

The 1930s:
The 1930s saw a departure from the carefree flapper style of the 20s and a new decade began with the glamour that was oozing out of Hollywood. The dress clip was the most popular piece of jewellery at the time worn on the neckline and soon being designed in a double incorporating the symmetry featured so heavily in the designs of the Art Deco period. The slim line and fine details in rings and bracelets seen in the 20s were expanded on and bracelets became wider while rings became more elongated both horizontally and vertically on the fingers. Men wore Cartier’s bejewelled cufflinks and diamond studded brooches, which brought an air of glamour to their masculinity.
