Wedding bands and engagement rings for LGBTQ couples are just like for straight couples. The most important thing is finding a symbol of love and commitment that feels personal and meaningful. Designs vary from the very, very basic to the very, very elaborate. At Concierge Diamonds, we believe in celebrating every love story with beautifully crafted, custom engagement rings and wedding bands that reflect the unique bond between two people—no matter their gender.
Celebrating Love, Diversity, and Equality
Love is love, and that should be celebrated. Whether you're part of the LGBTQ+ community or not, your engagement ring or wedding band should reflect who you are and what your relationship means. Custom engagement rings allow couples to create a piece that feels personal and perfect for them.
The Importance of Customization
One of the key reasons our clients come to us is the desire for a truly custom experience. A custom ring means you can design something that matches your personal taste, style, and love story. Customization can include selecting your preferred metal, gemstone, setting, and engraving—allowing you to craft a piece of jewelry that’s truly one-of-a-kind.
For LGBTQ couples, custom engagement rings offer an opportunity to create rings that transcend traditional designs and gender expectations. Whether you're looking for a subtle and timeless band, a bold statement ring, or a set of coordinating wedding rings that express your connection, the possibilities are endless.
Top Trends for LGBTQ Engagement Rings & Wedding Bands
The rise in demand for non-traditional wedding and engagement rings has sparked a variety of exciting trends, especially within the LGBTQ community. Below are some of the top trends that are making waves:
1. Gender-Neutral Designs
Gender-neutral engagement rings, featuring sleek, minimalist designs or unusual stone settings, have gained popularity. Couples now want to create rings that are unique to their love and reflect their personal values and aesthetics.
2. Bold Gemstones
While diamonds remain a classic choice, more and more couples are opting for colorful gemstones that represent their individual personalities and preferences. From sapphires to emeralds, rubies, and even alternative stones like opals, gemstones add a personal touch and can have special meanings.
3. Matching or Complementary Sets
Many couples prefer rings that match or complement each other. Custom designs ensure that both partners can choose rings that reflect their personalities while still feeling cohesive as a couple. Whether you want a set of rings that share a similar design, color scheme, or feature complementary stones, the options are endless.
4. Vintage-Inspired Rings
Vintage engagement rings have become increasingly popular as couples seek rings that tell a story and carry an air of timeless elegance. Vintage rings can be reimagined and personalized to suit modern tastes while still holding onto the romance and history that come with them.
5. Unique and Alternative Metals
The material of your ring plays an essential role in the overall look and feel of the piece. Many couples opt for alternative metals, such as rose gold, platinum, or even titanium, for a more modern or industrial look. These materials are durable and distinctive, adding a layer of uniqueness to your special day.
Tips for Designing the Perfect Engagement Ring
-
Consider Your Style Think about your personal style and the lifestyle you share with your partner. Do you prefer minimalist, modern designs, or are you drawn to something more ornate and vintage? What shape stone do you prefer? What color metal do you find the most pleasing? Your ring should reflect your aesthetic and personality.
-
Incorporate Meaningful Symbols Many couples choose to include meaningful symbols in their engagement ring or wedding band. Whether it’s an engraving of a special date, a gemstone that represents your relationship, or a unique design that has sentimental value, adding these personal touches will make your ring even more meaningful.
-
Work with a Skilled Jeweler If you’re designing a custom ring, it’s essential to work with a skilled jeweler who understands your vision and can bring it to life. The right jeweler will listen to your ideas and help guide you through the design process, from selecting materials to finalizing the details of your custom piece.

Think About Future Proofing Choose a design that you’ll love for years to come. A custom engagement ring is an investment, so think about how the design will age over time. Choose durable metals and gemstones that will stand the test of time while still reflecting your unique style.
