celebrating love every day: discover our pride collection
Last month was Pride month, and as usual we let it go past, because our commitment to love and inclusion is very much with us every week of every year. It is important to us that everyone, regardless of gender, sexuality, race, ability feels welcome in our showroom and online, and that they know their love will be celebrated as much as the next person’s.
However, we realise we dropped a ball because we didn’t tell you all about our new Pride collection, which we are really proud of.
For some, wearing jewellery that reflects who they are is deeply personal. For others, a colourful ring, badge or pin is a simple way to show they're an ally and that everyone is welcome. Inspired by the energy and creativity that is synonymous with Pride events - Amy and Charlotte put their heads together to design a collection that celebrates identity with elegance, rather than stereotypes.
And they haven’t disappointed us. We hope you will agree that the result is a gorgeous collection of customisable rings. Whether you're looking for a Pride ring, a lesbian ring, a gay ring, a queer engagement ring, or simply a meaningful piece of jewellery that celebrates identity and self-expression, we hope you'll find something that speaks to you.
