Wedding and Anniversary Ring Ideas for Same-Sex Couples
With the one-year anniversary of the Supreme Court’s ruling on gay marriage quickly approaching, more couples than ever have walked down the aisle into wedded bliss. Whether your big day is coming up, or your first anniversary is nearly upon you, we have a few ring ideas, which have been carefully selected in pairs by connecting themes.
Connection: Style
Each individual’s style is deeply personal and reflective of their taste, likes, and dislikes. But when you’re marrying the love of your life, some couples like to have their rings have a common bond. Some go as far as to wear the same ring, but unless you happen to have fallen for the same ring, there are other ways to evoke the same connection without relying on identical jewelry.
His: Effortlessly cool and sleek, contemporary designs usually favor strong lines, geometry, and often two or more colors of metal. For grooms who enjoy the contemporary look, the Graceful River Wedding Band captures the tranquility of a relaxed river, unrushed and elegant. Made in yellow and white gold for a two-tone look, Graceful River pairs beautifully with numerous rings. Our favorite couplings are with the Twin Rush Wedding Ring, which utilizes the same two-tone scheme, or Dancing River, which in addition to being two-tone, offers a more whimsical approach to the river idea. No matter what your individual style, Timeless offers many options to declare your independence while maintaining style solidarity with your mate.
Hers: We’ve gone over it before, but I have to say it again: Vintage styling is my love affair. And the wedding world is taking note. Now more than ever, brides across the country are choosing vintage and antique styled rings (and dresses, headpieces, veils, and décor…but that’s another blog for another day) to symbolize her wedded bliss. One of our favorites is the Diamond Phoenician Lace Wedding Band for her. Delicate, but bursting with class, the Diamond Phoenician Lace Wedding Ring features nearly a half carat of brilliant cut round diamonds. This ring is bold and delicate, and deserves to be paired with an equally exceptional ladies’ wedding band. The Aurora Wedding Ring is similar, but smaller in scale. With millgrained edges and .13 carats of diamonds set in bezel cups, the Aurora is the Phoenician Lace’s kindred spirit.
Connection: Metal
It’s possible that you and yours do not find the same style to be appealing. That’s okay. There are other ways to tie your wedding rings together. One of the most simple ways to do this is with metal color/metal choice. By prioritizing metal matching, each spouse can choose the style that’s right for him or her. In this way, a groom can choose a traditional, no-frills plain yellow gold Comfort Fit band while his husband celebrates his Irish ancestry by selecting a yellow gold Celtic Knot wedding band for him. In the same way, a bride may choose a contemporary white gold band with no diamonds while her lady opts for a white gold diamond eternity band. The options are endless when it comes to pairing the right rings to celebrate your nuptial pairing. To further enhance the connection, check out our Engraving Ideas blog to see how two-part engravings can fit the bill.
Connection: Diamonds
Couples who tied the knot last summer in the wake of the Supreme Court’s historic ruling have some epic celebrating to do this year: one year anniversaries! To mark this occasion, indulge your spouse with an anniversary band or upgrade their wedding band. I am a big fan of diamonds in an anniversary band, so without further ado, here are our picks for wedding and anniversary rings with diamonds.
His: The East West Wedding Band for him captures the heart of every person who’s been married. This two-tone rings features two bars of gold, each approaching from opposite sides, that meet in the middle, where a single princess cut diamond connects them. What a better way to celebrate your one-year anniversary than with a stunning single diamond? A ring this poignant and true deserves a mate equal to its charms. The Enchanted Wedding Band is the perfect pairing. Enchanted also features a single diamond, albeit a rectangle shaped one, and is available in two-tone or in a single color gold. These two rings together showcase the beauty that is lasting love, and commemorate the first year of wedded bliss.
Hers: Ladies, I used to think I was “less is more” kind of girl, but when it comes to diamonds, I have come to realize that I’m really a “more is more” kind of girl. The Monica Wedding Ring for her gives everything you could ask for in a ring. It has diamonds, rose gold (my absolute, bar-none favorite), and varying diamond cuts (round brilliant and princess). The overlapping bands offer visual interest and a sleek contemporary style. The lady who loves the woman who loves Monica may want to make her own statement. A diamond eternity band could be just right for her. The Obsession Wedding Ring features a continuous row of diamonds. Like their love, there is no beginning and no end. This eternity band is a great way to mark the first year in a lifelong journey.
No matter what your style or your spouse’s style, there is a unique and perfect pairing awaiting you at Timeless Wedding Bands.
