When you begin designing your rings, one of the most common questions we hear is: “How can we create a set that represents us both?”

At LOLiDE, we believe the answer lies in balance, between shared symbolism and individual expression. Your rings should reflect your connection while honoring your unique identities. That’s why our matching wedding bands, his and hers rings, and LGBTQ+ wedding rings are crafted to tell both your stories, side by side.

Start with Shared Elements

A cohesive wedding set doesn’t have to look identical. You might be surprised to learn that the most meaningful sets often celebrate difference as much as similarity. Many couples choose to incorporate a unifying element, like a shared metal, texture, or gemstone cut—that ties their rings together while allowing for personal variation.

For example, you might both choose recycled gold but opt for different finishes: one matte, one high polish. The metal remains your common thread, but the surface treatment speaks to your individual styles. Or perhaps your bands share a similar silhouette but use contrasting metals like yellow gold and white palladium. When you hold them side by side, they complement rather than duplicate.

At LOLiDE, we help you identify subtle ways to weave harmony and individuality into a single design language. Think of it as finding your visual vocabulary as a couple: one that honors both voices in the conversation.

Consider Symbolism Beyond Gender

Traditional his and hers rings often reinforce outdated gender norms: thick and simple for him, thin and delicate for her. But you’re redefining what it means to express unity. Your relationship doesn’t fit into prescribed categories, so why should your rings?

Our LGBTQ+ wedding rings are built around the idea of inclusivity, but this philosophy extends to every couple we work with. Whether you prefer minimalist bands or mixed-metal stackables, the goal is to design rings that represent equality, partnership, and authenticity rather than roles or expectations.

You might gravitate toward wider bands while your partner prefers something slender. You might want gemstones while they prefer clean metal. These aren’t gendered choices; they’re personal ones. We’re here to help you honor those preferences without compromise.

Choose Metals That Match Your Lifestyle

Choosing a ring that represents both of you isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about durability and comfort. Your rings will live on your hands through countless experiences: washing dishes, working out, traveling, creating. They need to keep up with your real life.

• Palladium and platinum offer cool tones and incredible longevity, ideal if you lead active lifestyles or work with your hands. These metals resist scratches and maintain their appearance with minimal maintenance.
• Recycled gold provides timeless warmth with an ethical footprint. If you value sustainability without sacrificing classic beauty, this option lets you honor both priorities.
• Titanium or cobalt bring a modern edge with lightweight strength. If you’ve never worn jewelry before or want something that feels barely there, these contemporary options deliver durability without weight.

These metals can also be combined for a two-tone look, creating visual unity while celebrating contrast, just like your partnership. Imagine one ring in warm rose gold, another in cool white gold, both designed with the same architectural lines. Together, they create balance.

Mix Textures for Personal Balance

When designing matching wedding bands, texture can be a powerful storytelling tool. The surface of your ring catches light differently depending on its finish, creating a unique character that reflects your personality.

Maybe you prefer a hammered finish that symbolizes life’s beautiful imperfections, celebrating the textured journey you’ve shared. Your partner might lean toward a brushed surface that evokes calm and refinement, representing the peace they’ve found with you. Or perhaps you’re drawn to a high polish that mirrors your optimistic outlook, while they choose a sandblasted matte that speaks to their grounded nature.

Pairing textures within the same metal family creates cohesion while allowing each partner’s personality to shine. When you place your hands together, the rings tell a complete story: different chapters, same book.

Incorporate Gemstones with Meaning

Gemstones add color, symbolism, and a touch of individuality that transforms a simple band into something deeply personal. You can integrate stones that reflect shared milestones or values, like sapphires for wisdom gained together, black diamonds for strength through challenges, or moissanite for sustainability and brilliance without compromise.

Consider setting stones in unexpected ways. A flush-set diamond creates subtle sparkle without changing the band’s profile. A row of tiny stones along the interior edge becomes a secret detail only you know about. Channel-set gems around the circumference create continuous color and light.

Couples seeking LGBTQ+ wedding rings often choose subtle rainbow-inspired accents or contrasting gems to represent unity through diversity. But any couple can use gemstones to encode meaning into their rings: birthstones, stones from meaningful locations, or simply colors that resonate with your shared aesthetic.

Personalize Through Engravings

Inside engravings remain one of the most intimate ways to connect your pieces. Whether it’s the coordinates of your first meeting, a phrase that defines your relationship, or a shared symbol, the engraving becomes your private link: hidden but ever-present.

You might engrave matching messages, complementary phrases that complete each other, or entirely different inscriptions that reflect your individual promises. Some couples choose dates, others prefer inside jokes, and still others select meaningful symbols or fingerprints. The beauty lies in knowing it’s there, pressed against your skin, seen by no one but felt always.

Design Together, Not Separately

Designing as a pair ensures both voices are heard. At LOLiDE, we collaborate with couples to refine their concepts together, from initial sketch to final casting. You can mix elements you both love while ensuring your set feels like one cohesive expression.

This collaborative process often reveals surprising insights about your relationship. Through conversations about width, weight, and finish, you discover how you make decisions together, how you compromise, and how you celebrate each other’s preferences. The design process becomes a microcosm of your partnership itself.

Our process emphasizes inclusivity and intentional design, so your custom matching wedding bands become a visual reflection of your shared journey. We’re not here to impose our vision; we’re here to help you articulate yours.

Think Beyond the Wedding Day

Your rings are not just jewelry; they’re heirlooms. Choosing sustainable metals and timeless forms ensures they’ll remain meaningful for decades to come. You’re not just selecting rings for who you are today, but for who you’ll become together over years of growth and change.

Our eco-conscious materials and artisan craftsmanship make each LOLiDE wedding set a lasting symbol of commitment that’s kind to the planet, too. When you choose recycled metals and ethically sourced stones, your rings carry forward your values as well as your vows.

Final Thoughts: One Vision, Two Voices

Whether you’re designing minimalist his and hers rings, creating a symbolic LGBTQ+ wedding ring set, or seeking something that exists beautifully in between, the goal remains the same—to celebrate love in its truest form.

At LOLiDE, we help you craft pieces that honor both individuality and unity, ensuring your rings feel uniquely you, together and apart. Because the best wedding sets don’t match perfectly. They harmonize beautifully, just like the strongest partnerships do.
