There are no set rules or traditions dictating whether, when, or how gay men should wear engagement rings and wedding bands.
Gay men may also want to consider their lifestyle and choose a ring made of a stronger, more alternative metal like cobalt chrome, which is durable and scratch-resistant.
Some couples opt for matching rings, while others choose individual styles
There are no set rules when it comes to wedding and engagement rings for gay men.
Whether you're celebrating your engagement, planning your wedding, or simply looking for a piece that speaks to your heart, we're here to craft a symbol that mirrors the uniqueness of your love.
Your story enriches our craft, and your love inspires our designs. The key is to do what feels most comfortable and significant for both partners. Love is a journey that knows no boundaries, no limitations.
The partner that is more financially independent or the one that is the least afraid of rejection might opt to propose first.
The most important thing to consider is investing in a metal that is durable and long-lasting. Eternity rings, with their undeniable romantic symbolism, are also a popular option for same-sex couples, offering dazzling diamond brilliance.
Some gay men may prefer a ring set, wearing one ring before the wedding and adding the other after, creating a two-piece ring. The choice of hand can vary based on personal preference and cultural influences. For couples on a budget, alternative metals such as tungsten, cobalt, steel, or cobalt chrome offer durability and scratch resistance without sacrificing quality.
Classic wedding bands for men are usually thicker and come in a variety of comfort-fit settings, such as domed, curved, or flat. The decision to purchase an engagement ring is a matter of preference.
There is also no fixed rule for how an engagement ring should be worn. These rings are lasting symbols of pride, love, and the power of living authentically.

For couples on a budget, alternative metals like tungsten, cobalt, steel, or cobalt chrome offer a sturdy and durable option. These rings are typically worn on the left ring finger before marriage and moved to the right hand after the wedding.
Hello and welcome to Northwood Custom Jewelry,
We're Allan and Laurel Hill, and as founders of Northwood, we want to extend the warmest embrace to each and every one of you.
At Krikawa, we’ve handcrafted alternative rings for many in the gay and lesbian community, from matching wedding bands for two grooms to dual engagement rings for two brides. Some gay couples may choose to follow the tradition of wearing the engagement ring on the left hand during the engagement and moving it to the right hand after the wedding, while others may prefer to wear both rings on the left hand or find another arrangement that suits them.
And it's this belief that drives us to celebrate love in all its magnificent forms.
In a world where the fight for LGBTQ rights continues, it's a profound honor for us to be a part of your love story.
