WE WOULD BE PROUD TO WEAR THESE WEDDING BANDS
It's Pride Month and Olivia Ewing Jewelry is celebrating with bright colors, calls to our representatives to protect the LGBTQ+ community, and of course, sparkly accessories- our favorite being our amazing selection of handcrafted unisex engagement rings and wedding bands.
And you don't have to be a member of the rainbow to wear our classic designs. The beauty of a unisex wedding band or engagement ring is that it can be worn by anyone, regardless of gender or sexual orientation. Below, we've rounded up a combination of our six favorite unisex engagement rings and wedding bands to help you find the perfect ring for your special someone but before we get into it, let's go over exactly what we mean when we call an engagement ring or wedding band 'unisex'.
WHAT IS A UNISEX RING?
A unisex wedding band or unisex engagement ring are pieces of jewelry that are designed to be worn by any individual of any gender. While traditionally created with specific gender roles in mind with men's rings featuring rugged and thick bands and women's featuring dainty details and diamonds, society has become more inclusive and gender roles less rigid.
Today unisex wedding bands and engagement rings mix and meld style elements to create a breathtaking piece of jewelry that is appropriate for anyone. And like women's rings, unisex rings come in a variety of metals including gold, silver, and platinum, and can contain any glittering gemstone. And just like a gendered ring, a unisex wedding ring is sure to strike joy into the hearts of all who see it.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN UNISEX WEDDING BANDS AND UNISEX ENGAGEMENT RINGS
Now that we know the difference between a unisex and gendered ring, let's go over the difference between unisex wedding bands and engagement rings. While both types of rings can be unisex in design, they serve different purposes.
An engagement ring is typically given as a symbol of a couple's intention to get married and is usually worn by the person receiving the proposal. It often features a diamond or other gemstone and is designed to be eye-catching and extravagant as it is meant to show to other people that the person wearing it is already spoken for.
On the other hand, a wedding band is typically exchanged during the wedding ceremony and is worn by both partners as a symbol of their commitment to each other. It is usually simpler in design and can be made of a variety of materials. Unisex wedding bands and engagement rings can be designed to match each other, but they serve different purposes and are worn at different times in a couple's journey together.
WHY CHOOSE A UNISEX WEDDING BAND OR ENGAGEMENT RING
Unisex fine jewelry has a multitude of benefits, including:
UNISEX WEDDING RINGS SYMBOLIZE EQUALITY
Because there is so set gender assigned to unisex wedding bands or engagement rings couples that buy unisex rings are able to break away from gender norms and embrace an equal and inclusive approach to their relationship.
UNISEX WEDDING RINGS ARE VERSATILE
In that same vein, because unisex rings are gender-neutral, there is a wider variety of styles available. Couples are able to find a soft flexible space within the meeting of women's and men's wedding bands and mix and match traditionally masculine and feminine elements to find a personal style all their own.
SHOPPING FOR UNISEX WEDDING BANDS CAN BE A UNIFYING EXPERIENCE
Couples looking to purchase their unisex wedding bands together may find that the experience can be a unifying one. Shopping for unisex wedding bands can be a fun, bonding experience that allows couples to share their vision and dream up the perfect ring together instead of separately.
