The Expert Guide to Engagement & Wedding Rings for Two Grooms

You’ve chosen your partner - now it’s time to select the perfect engagement rings. As LGBTQ jewellers with over 12 years’ experience creating rings for gay couples. Choosing engagement and wedding rings as two grooms is an opportunity to define your own traditions. In this expert guide, we explain the key decisions gay couples make.

The first question we ask is: Would you like an engagement ring yourself? Your answer guides the process: if yes, you’ll both be involved in choosing designs that reflect your personal styles; if not, we’ll take an alternative path tailored to your plans.

An Engagement Ring for You & Your Partner
If both partners plan to wear an engagement ring, it’s important to choose a design that you truly love whilst also considering your partner’s tastes.

We craft the ring in your size and present it in a beautiful case, ready for the proposal.
After the 'Yes!', you can share the ring until we make one in exactly the right size for your partner.
This approach allows both partners to select a ring that fits perfectly and reflects their style.

Whether you choose matching rings, complementary designs, or completely unique styles, the goal is that both of you will have engagement rings you adore.

Engagement Ring Design Choices
Choosing the ideal engagement ring is a special experience. If only one engagement ring is planned, some careful planning can ensure the surprise is perfect:

Subtle research: Ask friends or family for insights, or create situations where preferences can be discussed naturally.
Ring sizing: Try to estimate your partner’s finger size discreetly - see our sizing guide.

Another option is a proposal ring - a symbolic band, simple and lightweight, which can be presented during the proposal. Afterward, we can schedule a private consultation to design and create your main engagement rings, customized to both of your tastes. Proposal rings can also be kept as mementos or resized to fit.

The Symbolism of Wedding Rings
Wedding rings carry meaning beyond style. They reflect your commitment, personality, and shared journey. We recommend an in-person consultation to explore:

Precious metals (yellow, white, rose gold, palladium, platinum)
Ring shapes and widths
Finishes and textures
Colour combinations including gender-identity designs
Diamond or gemstone options

70% of gay couples choose matching wedding rings
20% choose complementary rings sharing one or more design elements
10% choose entirely distinct styles

Ultimately, the perfect wedding rings are the ones you both fall in love with - and that’s at the heart of WOOLTON & HEWITT.
