Pieces of jewelry like diamond journey necklaces, classic stud earrings and dainty tennis bracelets are popular and never go out of style. Fifty years from now these diamond jewelry pieces will still be the talk of the town.

Jewelry, diamond jewelry in particular, is a lasting purchase. If you are going to spend a lot of money on it, it better be something he or she is still going to wear a few years from now, yes?

This isn’t to say you should shy away from big bold pieces. In fact it is popular now to pile on multiple pieces of jewelry. You know how back in the 80’s we wore like, 20 of those neon rubber bracelets? Women are still doing that only now they are piling on silver, gold and diamond bangles. Layering of jewelry gives you a big look, but one that you can tone down whenever you want. Stackable rings are wicked hot right now.

You might even want to consider taking a necklace and wrapping it around your wrist like a bracelet. That can go from chic to edgy depending on your choice of necklace. It’s a great way to get more bang for your buck too.

Dangle earrings are still uber popular. Whether you want to go the full chandelier style or something a little subtler like hoops or a dainty gem drop, you are going to rock the party. You just can’t go wrong with a dangle. Nuh-uh.

There are all kinds of ways that you can take your classic pieces of diamond gay jewelry and make them trendy, even if it is your gay or lesbian wedding jewelry. It just takes a little imagination. Like I said, wild and crazy is all fine and good but there are times when the more tried and true styles suit the bill.

What novel idea double sided jewelry is! Especially gay reversible jewelry! It seems like they make everything else reversible like belts, scrubs and sweatshirts, so why not jewelry? This is the real deal.

Artists and jewelry designers alike can enjoy the beauty of jewelry that shows off its charm no matter if its right side up or upside down. I kinda like that concept myself.

Reversible jewelry is a perfect gift for your favorite lesbian. Especially necklaces with gorgeous pendants whether they are simple and straightforward with sleek symbols and designs or solid colors or even shells.

The pendants will have one design on one side and a completely different image on the opposite side. Or, in some cases the gay pendants have more of a theme and they tell a story on one side that continues when you flip the pendant over. They’re often referred to as toggling pendants.

A lot of the double sided jewelry comes from the orient. There are a lot of Asian-inspired designs or pieces of art that are showing up on jewelry in the United States and other parts of the world. It’s not so easy to find though. Your best bet is to do some online shopping first and then find a retailer in your area that carries some reversible jewelry so you can find what you’re looking for.

Another piece of gay reversible jewelry is the bracelet. These are usually designed so that they can display one color on one side and another color or gay symbol on the other side.

Bracelets are a fun idea for kids because they change their mind about what their favorite color is on a daily basis. So, if you give your daughter a pink and purple bracelet, she can wear pink on the day that pink is her favorite color and turn the reversible bracelet over the next day when she’s more into purple.

Gay watches are another great piece of jewelry that’s reversible. The most typical set up for this gay reversible jewelry is to have one side show silver and the other side gold. Although, you can probably find just about any metal or color combination that you want – if you look hard enough.

So when you’re looking to add a spark to your gay jewelry collection, try looking for some gay reversible jewelry. You’ll double your collection in half the time. And, you won’t have to store as many pieces.

I like to think of myself as a type of activist. Yes, I don’t get out there and march in the streets like some do, but I do believe that we can all do our part to make equality a reality as well as fight the food fight and while I do most of it from home, I am still doing something and that is all that matters.

A lot of people would say, what is the big deal about gay jewelry but those people are crazy. And just plain wrong. Buying real and true gay jewelry, designed by some of the most creative gay and lesbian minds around, with a message of hope and peace as well as hefty donations to organizations like the Matthew Shepard Foundation, can make a big difference.

When you wear these pieces of gay and lesbian jewelry, you are promoting the cause and donating to such good causes, that you can feel good about each and every purchase. Take a look at the Matthew Shepard Foundation and see for yourself what they are doing for the greater good. Lambda Legal is another powerhouse that is on our side and your money goes to supporting the gay causes they fight for each and every day.

Here are just a few of the hottest lines of gay jewelry with a message of hope for the LGBTQ community, all of them can be found at Love and Pride:

The Fly Naked with Reichen has been offering designer titanium jewelry at affordable prices for several years now and the collection has expanded to include not just rings, necklaces and bracelets but other great gift ideas like money clips and key chains. This line of gay mens jewelry has become a true customer favorite.

This is a brand new line of gay and lesbian jewelry and I can honestly say that I LOVE IT! It is one of their best concepts yet. We all have duality to our personalities, whether you realize it or not and this jewelry collection for men and women allows you to explore that and play with it.

In this line you will find double sided pendants, spinning rings with different sides of color and texture. It’s a creative and exciting collection that has taken the concept behind Jeff Lindsay’s novel “Darkly Dreaming Dexter” to a whole new level. Even if you aren’t a fan of the television show or the books, you will love these pieces.

Revolution of Love marries two unique technologies to create wedding rings for both gays and lesbians that will last a lifetime and a half.

You get all natural Clarity Enhanced Diamonds put into setting made from 585 Platinum, which by the way is an innovative platinum-hybrid with coloration and durability characteristics superior to those of traditional 950 Platinum.

The best part of these platinum and diamond wedding and commitment rings and necklaces is that they cost a fraction of what you would expect them to.

What is a collection of gay jewelry without one of the most meaningful pieces of jewelry ever designed: Matthew Shepard Pendants.

We all know the name, and we all know the horrors that were perpetrated against this charming, loving and innocent young man. But instead of turning to hate and anger his family and the Matthew Shepard foundation has chosen to reach out and help the community through the following three words: Understanding. Compassion. Acceptance. Truly words to live by. T

These beautiful circular pendants, designed by Udi Behr exclusively for the Matthew Shepard Foundation – are a fantastic way for you to help spread a very important message: Erase Hate.

You can be assured that 100% of the net proceeds from each and every sale of any lesbian or gay jewelry in this collection will go straight to the Matthew Shepard Foundation. This way you will be able to directly support diversity programs in education as well as help youth organizations establish environments where young people can feel safe to be themselves. See how easy it is to help the LGBT community through the simple purchase of jewelry?

Love and Pride brings you an exclusive collection of gay and lesbian jewelry in 18k gold, silver, leather, diamonds and semi-precious stones, all in celebration of rock legend Freddie Mercury from Queen.

You will also find the exclusive “Made in Heaven” signature – which was inspired by Freddie’s final album with Queen.

And of course if you’ve been reading this blog then you know how popular black and white diamonds are and the last earrings with their fleur de lis and the black flowers, perfection! I think these would make for an amazing Mothers Day Gift or birthday present, she would positively faint with joy when opening the gift box.

All of the gay and lesbian jewelry in the Dalumi collection is unique, earthy and positively dazzling in terms of the diamonds. Their user of different colors of gold is a big part of the drama that these pieces create.

This ring is very geometric which is what everyone is wearing this season Geometric designs are real hot this spring. But above that it’s just an amazing design. Somehow when I look at it I keep expecting it to move or start spinning, that’s part of the brilliance and the illusion of this diamond ring design.

With the diamonds at the top of the drop and the diamonds and all the circles at the bottom of it, it is utterly dazzling and it’s so going on my wish list for my birthday, in fact all of these are going on my jewelry wish list.

The gold diamond earrings have a lot of gold weight to them. Look at it all! Amazing! I love the soft pillowy pattern on the gold and with it framed with diamonds the way it is, is just so pretty! Loving them! You can never have too many diamond earrings. These too are perfect for a Mothers Day gift, what a way to impress the mother in law!

Heart motifs have always been popular in the world of jewelry ad these two pieces are pretty gorgeous if I do say so myself. I like the two toned aspect of the ring and the real winning aspect of the heart pendant, the part that sets this design apart from any other I’ve ever seen is the way the designer has worked the bale into the design. The way it is looks like the entire thing is make of one single strand of gold, I love it! With all the heart jewelry out there, it’s important to bring some originality to the table like this heart pendant has done.

The middle diamond pendant is gorgeous, I get the impression that there are stars floating around in space. I love it! These diamond shapes are going to be a big hit, I am making the prediction that they are going to be seen a lot in the coming months.

Mother’s Day is coming up fast and we need to start thinking about what we are going to get. Mothers Day gifts like any of the above jewelry are sure to make her happy, they are all gorgeous and there are plenty more gorgeous jewelry pieces at ICE.com.

Love and Pride Jewelry – New arrivals

I see there are some great new pieces at the online Love and Pride gay and lesbian jewelry store. Just in time for Valentines Day too which is awesome if you ask me. And all of the pieces featured in this post are under $100 in price.

I am going through them all now and will pick out a few of my faves to shrae with you, hopefully they will inspire you to get the perfect gift for the one who means the most to you this holiday. It’s all about love after all and keep in mind it doesn’t even have to be romantic love. In my opinion Valentines Day is a celebration of all love whether it be romantic, brotherly, motherly just plain friendly. Why be so narrow right?

Ooooh I like this flower pendant, very unique! Love the way the chain weaves through like that, super cool. The best part is that it’s made of stainless steel and cubic zirconia so you get the look of diamonds without the hefty price tag. It’s $65 right now and they have sales all the time so by the time you read this it could be selling for even less! LOVES IT!

This is the perfect gift for him. You know, the him you can’t stop thinking about? I know how hard shopping for people can be but this titanium ring with the black cable is great because it’s simple with clean lines but without being stuffy. It can hold it’s own in the style department and will be able to do so for many years to come. It’s super durable too, definitely a ring that he will be able to wear each day and cherish for a very long time.

The True Blood jewelry collection

Dunno about you but I am a huge fan of the True Blood TV show and the fact that this gay jewelry store has a whole line of juicy, sexy, vampire jewelry is pretty freakin’ mind blowing. I would buy every single piece of jewelry in that line, it is all so edgy, fashionable and just plain rockin’. Most of it is pretty unisex which leaves you with so many wonderful options when you are gift shopping.

With this stainless steel necklace you have the fangtastic closure and it is 22″ in length. God I love True Blood, can’t wait for the next season to start! Ugh!

Okay, this one piece isn’t under $100 but I had to include it. I spy with my little eye a brand new addition to the Love and Pride line of A Time For Peace gay and lesbian watches. This one is pretty, I love the light blue strap with the yellow stitching details and am a sucker for a mother of pearl face. This one is black to so that adds plenty of drama while still keeping it sleek and classy.

This Year Save 10% Off Orders of $250 and Up!

Loving Gay Ring Gift Idea This is a beautiful gay mens ring for any occasion not just Valentines Day. It shows you are proud and strong and as a gift it’s perfect. It’s also from Love and Pride like all the other pieces I’m featuring in this post. Why you ask? It’s simple, but strong too. It gives the look of a stackable set of rings but without the doubled price tag. I think that is a definite plus in it’s favor, especially with the economy the way it is now. It’s handcrafted out of gleaming 18k gold with black enamel male insignias. I think this gold gay stackable ring look is a unique and creative Valentines Day gift for 2009, 2010 and beyond.

Love and Pride Handcuff Bracelet How hot are the details on this handcuff bracelet. It’s all stainless steel, fine detailing and black rubber on this gay bracelet and I love it. It is a totally unique bracelet, I’ve never seen anything like it at any other jewelry store and I’ve been to them all. Take the clasp middle of the bracelet for example. It has a spring that is what connect the three other pieces of the gay jewelry design. It’s so innovative and modern not to mention gorgeous. This stainless steel gay bracelet measures 8 inches around and is 1/4 inch thick. If you are still shopping for the best Valentines gift, look no further than this baby.

Love is in the Details Look at the beautiful simplicity that is this gay ring– or should I say rings since there are actually two stacked together in the picture?You can buy this one as a set as you see here, or singly. Either way it’s gorgeous. It’s made of 18K gold and handcrafted in Italy and it says it all. Love. Honor. Peace. Togetherness. What more do we need in life? The design is simple, just a polished, square cut yellow gold band with a trillion cut diamond set in it’s center. It’s the essence of purity and tranquility. If you purchase and buy the two gold rings together it measures 12mm. If you choose to buy only one then obviously you are looking at 6mm in width.

Gay & Lesbian Cufflinks Cufflinks are a great choice for Valentines Day too and they work for men and women. There is nothing more unisex than cufflinks. The deep red coral in these makes it all the more special for the day of love. These stylish cufflinks from Love and Pride gay jewelry are lovely. They are modern and affordable. They come in different colors as well. They are made of coral and silver and they are perfect for everyday wear. These great gay gifts for Valentines Day measure 3/4″ x 1/2″.

It is often heard that diamonds are a girl’s best friend, but I believe that men would love to trade in the dog for diamonds any day, because everyone loves diamonds. Any man will know that giving the man he loves that beautiful diamond ring or necklace he’s always wanted will keep him out of the dog house for a long time to come.

Even with all the contention concerning same sex marriage gays and lesbians should still commit to one another and commitment rings and other bridal jewelry to wear and give at ceremonies is still an important right of passage.
