Nobody would think that going into a jewelry store to buy an engagement ring for your partner would be stressful.  It’s supposed to be one of the most exciting days of your life, right?  You are going to ask someone to marry you.

For same sex couples, it’s not always easy.  You want to have a great experience.  The unknowns of how you will be treated – possibly being met by homophobic staff.  The thought is uncomfortable – even when you are welcomed with open arms.   Sometimes, it’s the unnecessary pre-worry that can “get you”.

There are other options.  Many people shop online.  Also, there is a wealth of online shops that have Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender owners.

Here are some resources.  They cost as little as $100.00 to as much as you want to spend.  They carry wedding rings, engagement rings, wedding sets and commitment bands specifically designed for same sex couples.
