LGBT Wedding Rings: Where to Buy Your Bands in St. Pete

Share the Love

Getting married is one of the biggest decisions you’ll ever make. The symbol of this tremendous commitment is the solid metal circle you place on each other’s fingers during your vows.

You’ll be wearing this ring for the rest of your life so you want to choose something beautiful and timeless to boot.

Here we will give you our pointers on how to choose a phenomenal ring and the best LGBTQ friendly jewelers to buy from to bring your wedding ring dreams into reality.

Quality Over Pizzazz When It Comes to Wedding Rings

Since you’ll rarely, if ever, remove this ring it’s not necessarily the time to make a statement. You’ll want this ring to go with every outfit, during every occasion, forever. Consider, instead of bling and pizzazz, to go for simple elegance and high-quality materials.

The money you save on gemstones can be used to buy platinum instead of silver or white gold. Add tasteful details like strong line work but forego making the ring be audacious on its own.

You can always wear accessory rings on other fingers or layers in more fabulous rings for certain occasions but it’s hard to pull off a statement piece in every part of your life.

The Different Types of Bands

When you’re looking for wedding bands you’ll come across a few main types. For women, you’re going to be looking at more traditional silver, gold, and platinum bands that are simple enough to pair with your gorgeous engagement ring.

Men have more options with new materials like tungsten and even certain rubbers to make your ring more durable.

Make sure you look at all that’s available to find something timeless that also speaks to you personally. There are different colors and feels, some with stones and some without, and even more custom details you can add.
