LGBTQ+ Symbols in Jewelry
Symbols in jewelry bring deep meaning to gay wedding bands, lesbian wedding bands, and engagement rings of all styles. Down to earth and laid back couples may embrace oranges and reds and other “earthy” tones; couples that rarely fight and harmonize in what seems to be almost perfect unison might prefer blues.
The Traditions of the Rings
