“The perfect dainty, minimalistic ring I’ve been looking for! Great quality, thoughtful packaging and a timeless piece.”

This wrap style ring by Initial Necklaces is the perfect symbol of affection to show where you and your heart lies.
Like other pieces mentioned, this ring is made from high quality 925 sterling silver. Making it a durable piece that can be worn everyday.
Initial Necklaces have created a great piece where the states/countries and band don’t overpower each other, producing a seamless design.
If you don’t know your partner’s ring size, that’s ok. This design is slightly adjustable, allowing you to get a snug fit.
Adjustable State to State Rings by The Light & The Dark
Another adjustable option is this state to state ring from The Light & The Dark.
The memorable hand stamped design includes two states from the USA or Canada that are connected by dashes with a heart in the middle, which is a great way to symbolize your LDR.
While we love the design, we also like that this piece is made from aluminum, giving you an option that is lightweight and won’t tarnish.
Nikki, the founder of The Light & The Dark, was once in a long distance relationship and knows the struggles that come with it. She said:
“I know how important it is to feel close to your other half when you cannot be together. Our pieces are meant to serve as a reminder – we hope they give you strength to face the difficult road ahead.”

US State Quarter Rings by Change & Charms
These rings by Change & Charms make a great gift for many occasions, but we think they are perfect and unique way to symbolize long distance relationships.
Made from USA quarters, Change & Charms hand crafts these pieces that look really authentic.
They are available in an antique, like the image above, bright or high polished finish.
But Lolo & Nate, isn’t it illegal to make jewelry from coins?
It’s not! You can make jewelry from coins as long as the purpose isn’t for counterfeiting [source].
Oh great! The Feds won’t come after me.

14K Rose Gold Celtic His and Hers Rings by Avery Jewelry
These Celtic His & Hers Rings from Averie Jewelry are by far the most expensive on our list, but hear us out, there’s a good reason why!
Being hand made, 14k gold and a highly intricate design these types of rings demand more time and effort than others.
The ring on the left is made from woven delicate gold wire, which is given a polished finish. While the ring on the right is made from a flat gold sheet then hand beaten.
You can see the woven design inset into the ring on the right, which gives the impression that both rings were crafted from one piece. Symbolizing how each piece completes the other.
His & Hers Fingerprint Rings by Grace Personalized
Engraving sentimental messages on jewelry has been performed for many years. As technology advances digital engraving has now become much more accurate and affordable.
One of the more unique and imaginative options for this technology has to be Grace Personalized’s use of fingerprints to create truly one of a kind rings.
Made from 925 sterling silver, these rings can be kept this way or finished in 18k gold vermeil or rose gold vermeil. Grace mentions that vermeil is nickel free, making it perfect for people with metal allergies.

His & Hers Aviation ​​​​Rings by Y.H.TANAFF
While some long distance couples can visit each other by car, there are others who are separated by much larger distances with flights being the only option.
For those couples, we feel your pain!

His & Hers Coordinates Rings by Noisy Cricket
Christy of Noisy Cricket describes the creation process of her long distance couples rings perfectly:
“These rings start out as 10 gauge fine silver wire. The wire is then hammered and stamped, fused together and formed into an awesome organic shaped ring. It is perfectly imperfect in so many ways just like life itself!”
We really like the organic shape the process of hammering and stamping by hand gives these rings.
If you and your partner are into subtle jewelry that still has huge sentimental value then these rings are for you.

Our Crown has made these rings available in half and full sizes ranging from US 6 to US 9 for the queen and US 6 to US 11.5 for the king.

Stirling Silver King & Queen Rings by Bazaar Jewelers
These King and Queen rings from Bazar Jewelers use the popular font and heart emblem that widely used in a deck of cards.
We think this gives them a sleek look and one that’s made even sleeker by oxidizing the letter and heart before giving them a final polish.
They both have the same thickness (1.8mm) and width (9mm) and can be made in any US size you prefer. Even half and quarter sizes to get the perfect fit.
Turn around time is usually 3 to 5 days, which is fairly quick for a handmade piece.
More details on turn around and shipping times are available on Bazar Jewelers’ Etsy listing.
Rose Gold King & Queen Rings by Dizzy Cactus
We are definitely a fan of rose gold but what really stands out is the intricate detail of the king and queen emblems on these rings.
Dizzy Cactus makes these rings by hand starting with pipe cut rose gold plated stainless steel, which are then made into bands that measure 5mm wide.
Custom engraving is also available. The image above shows what dates would look but but you can add whatever you’d like. All you need to do is pick the font you want and make sure it is under 25 characters long!
Tungsten King & Queen Rings by Kris, Kate & Company
Gold, rose gold and silver rings aren’t for everyone. That’s why we love these black long distance king and queen rings from Kris, Kate & Company.
Made of tungsten carbide, which is becoming more and more popular, these rings really make a statement.
These rings are similar to those from Dizzy Cactus as they include detailed laser engraved king and queen crown emblems. But start to differ with the very classy beveled edged design.
The king ring has a slightly thicker width of 8mm, while the queen ring is 6mm.
Custom engraving inside these rings is also available, which you can find out more about on Etsy!
Helpful Tips When Buying Long Distance Rings
How To Measure Your Fingers For A Ring
While choosing the right ring can be difficult, making sure you have the right size is equally important.
Here’s a fairly easy way to measure your finger:
- Wrap string, dental floss or a thin strip of paper around the base of your finger.
- Mark the point where the end meets with a pen.
- With a millimeter ruler, measure the length.
- Once you have the length, choose the closest measurement from this sizing chart.

What to think about when buying a ring for a man
Picking a ring for a man can be difficult, especially if they rarely wear any accessories.
If they do wear accessories like a bracelet or necklace, it is a good idea to try and match the material type and or color. Allowing them to be worn together.
At the end of the day it is better to go for a subtle or understated design if you’re unsure.
What to think about when buying a ring for a woman
While rings are a lot more popular for women, that doesn’t make choosing one any easier.
Matching options to her fashion style and looking at the existing jewelry she wears frequently will help.
Don’t be afraid to ask casually as it can be a great way to get ideas.
Ring Care & Maintenance
Jewelry like long distance rings will usually use precious metals. To make them last and look like new, you need to take care of them.
Thankfully maintenance is usually quite easy and there are a number of tips.
- Mild soap is commonly used
- Avoid extreme temperature
- Don’t use cleaning chemicals
- Use specific cleaners for different metals
- Consider professional cleaning
If you’ve had your ring for a number of years then it may be a good idea to have it professionally cleaned.
Gold Rings
Gold has long been seen as a precious metal and for good reason. Not only does it have incredible natural beauty it is also hard-wearing and doesn’t tarnish. All you need is mild soap and a damp cloth to be able to remove any dirt.
Silver Rings​
Unlike gold, silver does tarnish. That makes the care of your silver ring slightly more intensive. As well as using a mild soap to get rid of any dirt, it’s also a good idea to use a silver cleaner to be able to remove any tarnish and restore it to its full shine.
Stainless Steel Rings
Stainless steel is used in countless products and that’s because it is very durable. It is perhaps the easiest metal to clean as all you’re going to need is mild soap and it will look brilliant once again.
Tungsten Rings
Tungsten has become very popular as it has the look and shine of steel without the negatives when it comes to maintenance as it doesn’t tarnish. Getting a great finish requires warm water and a little elbow grease to get shining like new once again.
