Toi Et Moi Engagement Rings -
Toi Et Moi Engagement Rings: A Unique Duo of Artisan Design
The Toi Et Moi engagement ring—French for 'You and Me'—is perhaps the most romantic and unusual of all ring silhouettes. Originally made famous by Napoleon Bonaparte, this style features two gemstones bypass-set to symbolise the union of two souls. At Nude Jewellery, Nikki Galloway reimagines this classic sentiment through a modern, sculptural lens. Each piece is handcrafted in our studio using 100% recycled precious metals, pairing vibrant sapphires, rubies, and diamonds in combinations that feel tactile, smooth, and entirely individual.

The Maker’s Eye: Architectural Harmony
As an alumna of Central St Martins, Nikki Galloway is drawn to the Toi Et Moi style for its inherent asymmetry. Creating a balanced design with two different stones requires a master’s eye for proportion and colour. In our Toi Et Moi collection, we often pair sunny and vibrant yellow sapphires with deep oceanic teals, or soft pinks with brilliant diamonds. These aren't just rings; they are curated 'conversations' between gemstones. Nikki’s 20+ years of experience ensures that even the most daring pairings feel sophisticated and refined.
Interlinked Collections & Ethical Integrity
Many of our Toi Et Moi designs are influenced by the organic textures of our Atlantis Collection or the celestial curves of the Maisie. By setting these 'You and Me' stones into hand-textured bands, we create a piece that is both unique and unusual. As an independent, female-led boutique, we ensure every stone is ethically sourced and every ring is independently hallmarked in the UK. This commitment to integrity and artisan craftsmanship has seen a surge in Toi Et Moi commissions over the last 15 years, as couples move away from high-street uniformity toward jewellery with a story.
The 'You and Me' silhouette is a masterclass in sculptural design, sitting at the heart of our unique engagement rings collection.
