We've been recommending lately that your Big Gift this holiday season should be getting engaged to your lover. Propose, throw an engagement party, and exchange beautiful rings. 

You may not live in a state or civil jurisdiction that allows same-sex marriages, but this shouldn't stop you. We've heard that many couples are starting to personally and politically "prime the marriage pump" by getting engaged and staying in a long-term engagement holding pattern until equal marriage rights are extended to all U.S. citizens.

So it's important to get engaged first, making your commitment to your partner crystal clear to family, friends, neighbors, and perfect strangers. It's the symbolism that matters, to you and your partner and to the rest of the world. It's appropriate to select engagement rings that live up to this profound step in your relationship. Our slideshow gives you a variety of ring styles and options, hopefully giving you inspiration to make engagement rings your Big Gift this holiday season. Happy Holidays, and Happy Life!

Celebrate the Holidays with the Perfect Gift: Get engaged and go to the Hudson Grove & Co. website to find fine jewelry of the engagement and wedding variety -- all Made in the USA using only conflict-free diamonds and Eco Gold and created by a GLBT artisan, Rony Tennenbaum, specifically for members of the community.

Also visit the Tweed Gay Wedding & Gift Registry, an online collection of gifts hand-selected by style-setter Fred Root.
