LGBTQIA+ Jewelry
Engagement rings, wedding and commitment rings, unisex jewelry and a Pride bracelet, for gay, lesbian, bi, trans, queer and non-binary customers, same-sex couples, and everyone who loves them. Made in our Islington workshop, and sold from the same shop on Upper Street, since 1995.
Juliet loves Juliet.
Since 1995
Everyone through the same door
When Stephen and Jane opened in 1995, our gay friends told us they were often made to feel uncomfortable and unwelcome when they shopped for engagement, commitment and eternity rings. We were devastated to hear it, and decided our shop would be different: every couple treated the same, by people who share our values.
When our website launched in 1997 it had a section for gay and lesbian couples, the first jewelry site we know of to have one. We were advised against it commercially. Stephen and Jane overruled the advice, and the section has been one of our most successful ever since.
That was eight years before civil partnerships and seventeen before equal marriage. On the first weekend same-sex couples could marry, a couple who had been together seventeen years married at Islington Town Hall, just down the road from the shop. Some of the people who found us in those early years still come to us now.
In 2018 someone asked whether the section was still needed. It is. A ring like this shouldn't be spoiled by a narrow-minded sales assistant, and there are still countries where being yourself is a crime. The language has grown to LGBTQIA+. The reason hasn't changed.
None. We are all just people.
Our answer when a magazine asked how gay couples choose their rings differently
Romeo loves Romeo.
In his words
“After entering a few choice words into the Google search window, the first image to pop up was of Stephen Einhorn's Geo Ellipse ring. Instantly I knew that this was the ring.”

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.

Wedding, civil partnership and commitment
LGBTQ+ wedding and commitment rings

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.
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.

Unisex jewelry
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.

Pride
The Pride bracelet
Sixteen beads in the colors 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-flavored marketing in June. We make it because we feel pride, and it's on this page all year.
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.
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 meters from where you chose them, by the people you spoke to, and two sizes of the same ring is standard, not bespoke.

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 jeweler?
No, we're allies. Stephen and Jane opened the shop in 1995 wanting to be the jewelers 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 meters 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.
