The story: This ring brings together a multitude of symbols: the Toi et Moi ring, the meaning of red tourmaline, and of course, that of the serpent. The first famous Toi et Moi ring was the one offered by Napoleon Bonaparte to Joséphine de Beauharnais as an engagement ring. Since then, this style has become a timeless classic, symbolizing two hearts ready to unite forever. The symbolism of the ring can be personalized depending on the stones paired together: here, the tourmaline, which represents sincere and warm love and is said to encourage emotional communication. The serpent, for its part, is a powerful symbol in many cultures, dating back to Antiquity. It has long been associated with eternal youth and renewal, due to its continuous shedding of skin. In India and South Asia, it is also linked to abundance and, by extension, fertility.
