I think it’s safe to say that True Blood is the number one television show of the summer. It has everything a person could want in a show and not only has it spawned a whole nest of hotties for us to drool over, it has also inspired a stunning collection of jewelry at Love and Pride gay jewelry.

Each piece is unique and literally to die for. If you aren’t yet familiar with the show True Blood then I suggest you check out the show and catch up online, it is amazing. True Blood is filled all kinds of pansexuals doing all kinds of naughty things. It’s just plain fun in my opinion.

The True Blood line of jewelry is totally one of a kind, I have honestly not seen anything like it anywhere else and I love that it is exclusive to Love and Pride. We need more gay jewelry lines like this!

Lots of bold jewelry in the line, chains and deep red gemstones, bright red leather ugh I want it ALL!!

The thing is that this planet is getting destroyed, dare I say raped (?) from all sides. We are smothering it in pavement, burning the trees that grow from it and soaking the soil with blood on virtually every continent. This is a terrible and tragic thing, that is why now more than ever, we need to start thinking about getting our connection back with Mother Earth. She missing the old ways just as I’m sure deep down many of us do.

We can honor her and life in general in many ways. We can grow our gardens to be healthy and productive, we can go out and volunteer to plant seedlings, we can volunteer at food kitchens and at risk centers for women and children and we can choose to buy ethical jewelry, gay jewelry that has a conscience and I can tell you with great certainty that Love and Pride is the top of the heap in terms of ethicals.

They donate a significant amount of each purchase we make to worthy charities and their Love, Peace and Earth collection is outstanding. It’s got more texture and each piece symbolizes the love and peace we should all work on radiating each day of our lives. You can tell by looking at all their rings, watches and necklaces that they are not like other collections of fine jewelry. These are special, they capture the essence of the planet in a way that totally engaging not to mention charming.

Everything that comes from the earth has it’s own energy and life and by wearing these pieces of the earth we get a little piece of that for ourselves. We get to express our love and devotion to Mother Earth as well, what is better than that. Besides they pieces of gay and lesbian jewelry are amazing and are sure to get you lots of complements.

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.

All of these rings and necklaces are limited edition pieces of the LOVE Made in Heaven collection and each of them is emblazoned with the collection’s signature, patented double trillion – a personal tribute to Freddie – and a way for all touched by his talent to continue the love affair. You will also find the exclusive “Made in Heaven” signature – which was inspired by Freddie’s final album with Queen.

This gay jewelry is worn by celebrities all around the world, people like Ringo Starr are big fans.

They are one of the first to carry this brand new creative venture actually and what sets it apart from the rest and makes it so much more special than other jewelry on the market today, is that this honors one of the most inspirational, and socially-conscious artists of all time.

My favorite gay and lesbian jewelry store is forever changing the shape and style of dog tag fashion. Their pendants have a lot more sleek sophistication and a LOT more bang for your buck. The old fashioned military shape is still great, don’t get me wrong, but when you want to spruce yourself up a bit, these are going to be a big hit. They are softer, more like real “jewelry” if you know what I mean.

If I were forced to choose between these two particular gay and lesbian necklaces I don’t think I could do it. I love the shiny curves of the first and since it has silver inlay I am pretty sure you could get it engraved as well. I’m not positive though. The brushed metal look of the second titanium pendant with it’s silver and gold rivets is super sexy too.

They are both so unique, affordable too.

I can see both being worn by men and women as well, which makes your decision a lot easier if you are buying a gay gift for someone close to you. You can’t go wrong with these, they rock!

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.

So. Netaya. It’s an online jewelry source for diamonds and to be honest I cannot get enough of them. They are innovative and ready and willing to make every purchase we make perfect. I have never seen a jewelry site as interactive as their and when you are shelling out the kind of money diamonds cost, you need to really get a good feel for what you are looking at right? That is easy to do at their site, you can see all different styles and shapes of jewelry.

I love their viewing system. When you click on the main page for one of the pieces of jewelry all you have to do is roll over the image and you will see that section enlarged instantly, no need to wait for another page to load. You can get right up close and personal with anything. You also get to view it from several different angles, talk about informed shopping!

Netaya also has thousands of fine jewelry products to choose from and they are constantly adding new rings, necklaces, earrings (the list goes on and on) that will bedazzle you with their sparkly fire.

Some of their diamond jewelry is even customizable by:

* Metal Type
* Diamond Quality
* Gemstone Shape
* Size
* Length

This gives you so many options when it comes to how much money you are going to spend on your diamond jewelry. And because Netaya manufacturers all of the jewelry they sell we get lower prices on high quality jewelry. They have been catering to the public for years and are known for their great customer service.

If you are doing some diamond shopping soon, you absolutely cannot say you’ve seen everything you should until you visit their interactive online jewelry store. It’s an experience none of their competitors can offer. Amazing.
