10 Beautiful Same Sex Wedding And Engagement Rings
In light of today's historic Supreme Court's ruling that states can no longer ban same-sex couples from marrying, gay marriage is now legal in all 50 states. Which means that we will have more engagements and weddings to celebrate in the upcoming months and years — and it's about dang time! Weddings are beautiful, joyous occasions to publicly declare our commitment to our partners and share our joy with our loved ones — and now, all Americans are guaranteed the right to celebrate that occasion if they so choose.
And folks who want to seal their commitment with a ring will be happy to know that there is no shortage of wedding and engagement rings for same-sex couples. Whether you're into the understated or the bedazzling, there's a set of rings out there that's right for you and your honey.
The ten rings and ring sets below are only the tip of the iceberg — and obviously, any ring is a same-sex wedding ring if a same-sex couple wants to wear them. But these rings were designed with same-sex couples in mind — so check them out, even if you're not planning on taking the plunge any time soon. Because it's awesome when political progress and your Pinterest wedding board collide.
