LGBTQIA+ Jewellery

Engagement rings, wedding and commitment rings, unisex jewellery and a Pride bracelet, for gay, lesbian, bi, trans, queer and non-binary customers, same-sex couples, and everyone who loves them. We opened in 1995 wanting to be the jewellers for our whole community, and our website has had a section for gay and lesbian couples since it launched in 1997, eight years before civil partnerships existed. The section is bigger now and the language has grown. The point hasn't: everything here is made in our Islington workshop for whoever is standing in front of us.

Why we have this section

In the 1990s our gay friends told us they were made to feel unwelcome buying the rings that mattered most to them. So when our website launched in 1997 it had a section for gay and lesbian couples, the first jewellery site we know of to have one, eight years before civil partnerships and seventeen before equal marriage. In 2018 someone asked whether it was still needed. It is. A purchase like this shouldn't be spoiled by a narrow-minded sales assistant, and there are still countries where being yourself is a crime. The section is bigger now and the language has grown to LGBTQIA+, but the reason is the same. Everything here is made in our Islington workshop by people who share our values, and that Pride weekend we gave 10% of our sales to Stonewall.

For the proposal, or for the two of you

Gay, lesbian and LGBTQ+ engagement rings

Nothing here is labelled his or hers. Signets with a stone, enamel inlaid by hand, diamonds if you want them. About half the couples who come to us have already decided together; the ones who propose with a ring buy the style first and come back together for the size.

Enamel Geo Ring, made in our London workshop

The one we'd choose

Enamel Geo Ring

Solid silver or gold with a band of enamel inlaid by hand, and the ring more couples have bought from this section than any other: 39 orders since 2022, often two at a time. It reads as an engagement ring without a diamond having to do the talking, and it comes in every width and metal we make.

from £1,195

Wedding, civil partnership and commitment

LGBTQ+ wedding and commitment rings

The rings we've made longest for the couples this page is for. Plain bands with real weight, in two or three widths so a pair can match without being identical, or two different rings that belong together. Marriage, civil partnership or neither: same rings, same workshop.

Ellipse Ring, made in our London workshop

The one we'd choose

Ellipse Ring

Ellipse in section, so it sits flat against the finger and against an engagement ring. Extra slim, slim, standard and wide, in silver, gold or platinum, so two people can wear the same ring at two weights. It's the band we're asked to make two of most often.

Do your rings have to match?

No. Of the couples who buy two rings from us in one order, about seven in ten choose the same design, most at two widths or in two metals, and three in ten choose two different rings. All three work, and sizing is separate either way.

The same ring, twice

Identical rings, each in your own size. Simple, and the choice most couples make without a second thought.

The same design, two ways

One design at two widths, or one in silver and one in gold, or two stones in the same signet. A pair that isn't a uniform.

Two different rings

Rings that belong together because you do: a signet and a plain band, enamel next to beaten silver.

Not only for same-sex couples

Men's engagement rings

More men wear an engagement ring than the shops admit, and not only in same-sex couples: 132 orders from this site have carried one since 2022. These are the rings made to be proposed with: a stone, enamel or an inlay, in a man's width.

Gender neutral, by design

Unisex jewellery

Most of what we make was never designed for a gender. Signets, bangles, chains and studs cut to sit on any hand or neck, in silver, gold or platinum, and sized for you rather than for a category. If you're non-binary, trans, or just tired of being sent to the wrong half of a shop, start here.

Link Bracelet, made in our London workshop

The one we'd choose

Link Bracelet

A solid silver link bracelet in four sizes from small to extra large, which is the whole point: one design, made to fit whoever's wrist it's for. If you asked us for one piece that has nothing to do with gender, it's this.

The Pride bracelet: agate, lapis, malachite and chalcedony beads with solid silver

Pride

The Pride bracelet

Sixteen beads in the colours of the Gay Pride and Trans Pride flags: agate, lapis, malachite and pink and blue chalcedony, between solid silver drops on an adjustable chain made for every wrist. We don't make it to cash in on rainbow-flavoured marketing in June. We make it because we feel pride, and it's on this page all year. (Confirm whether a share of each sale goes to a charity, and name it.)

Gifts for couples, and for whoever they are to you

Engagement, wedding and anniversary gifts for two, or for one half of a pair. Nothing here needs a gender to be right.

Matching pieces for two

The same piece twice, or one design in two sizes. Necklaces and bracelets need no ring size, which makes them the safe engagement or wedding gift.

Engraved for the two of you

A date, initials, the thing you say to each other, cut by hand in the workshop. Anniversary gifts for couples usually start here.

By who they are to you

Our gift guides ask one question and walk you to a piece we'd stand behind, whoever they are to you.

Design them together

Two rings, made for two people, in one workshop

About half the couples we make rings for come in before anyone has proposed and design both rings together, in the shop on Upper Street or over Zoom. The other half buy the style first, propose, and come back together for the size or a change of stone. Either way the rings are made a few metres from where you chose them, by the people you spoke to, and two sizes of the same ring is standard, not bespoke.

Sizes, secretly or together

Ring size is the reason people hesitate. Here's how to get theirs without asking, what happens when there are two of you, and which hand.

Their size, without them knowing

Borrow a ring they wear on that finger and measure the inside across with a ruler, press it into a bar of soap, or send us a photo of it on a ruler. Or order the nearest size: an unworn ring can be exchanged within 14 days. (Confirm: free, or customer pays return postage.)

Two rings, two sizes

Order both in your best guesses. We'll exchange or resize whichever is wrong; rings we've made are resized under our lifetime service guarantee. (Confirm the resizing terms and any charge.)

Which hand?

In the UK most couples wear engagement and wedding rings on the left ring finger, and most same-sex couples do too. Some choose the right hand, as is usual in Germany, Spain and much of Europe, or a different finger. It's a preference, not a code. Tell us the finger and we'll size for it.

In time, and on time

Buying for a date?

Ready-to-ship pieces dispatch fast; made-to-order rings take up to 4 weeks. Call us with your date and we'll tell you honestly.

Your questions

Do gay couples wear engagement rings?

If they want to, and most do. In one survey of 500 same-sex couples, 83% proposed with a ring; of the couples who come to us, Stephen puts it at about 95% buying rings for the engagement, with a few choosing matching pendants instead. There's no rule. Both of you can wear one, one of you can, or you can skip straight to wedding rings.

Who proposes in a gay or lesbian relationship?

Whoever wants to. In the same survey about a third of couples did a double proposal, each asking the other, and one in ten of those exchanged two rings. Plenty of couples decide together and then choose the rings together, which is how about half of ours arrive.

Do both of us get a ring?

That's yours to decide. What we see every week: one ring for the proposal and two for the wedding; two engagement rings; two rings chosen together with no proposal at all. If you buy one now and one later, we'll match the metal and the finish.

Which hand do gay couples wear wedding rings on?

In the UK almost everyone wears it on the left ring finger, and most same-sex couples do too. Some wear the right hand, as is normal in Germany, Spain and much of Europe, or a different finger altogether. It's a preference, not a code. Tell us the finger and we'll size for it.

Do you exchange rings in a civil partnership?

You can, and most couples do, but a civil partnership ceremony has no legal requirement for rings or vows. Our wedding and commitment rings are made for civil partnerships, marriages and couples who want neither.

Do our rings have to match?

No. Of the couples who buy two rings from us in one order, about seven in ten choose the same design, most at two widths or in two metals, and three in ten choose two different rings. Size, metal and width can all differ on the same design.

Are you an LGBTQ+ owned jeweller?

No, we're allies. Stephen and Jane opened the shop in 1995 wanting to be the jewellers for the whole community, and our website has had a dedicated section for gay and lesbian couples since it launched in 1997. We hire people who share those values, and in 2018 we gave 10% of Pride weekend sales to Stonewall. If you'd rather buy from a queer-owned business, we understand; you're welcome here either way.

Can we design our rings together?

Yes. Bespoke is what the workshop is for: two rings designed in one appointment, in the shop or over Zoom, and made a few metres from where you chose them. Or take any ring on this page and change the metal, width or stone. Two sizes of the same ring is standard, not bespoke.
