About
On WeddingWire since 2024
Hi! Congratulations on your pre-engagement or engagement!
Kris and Julie, a same-sex couple who has been married for more than 16 years own and operate Mountainview Rings and Things. They are dedicated to ensuring that everyone feels valued and respected. By embracing diversity and inclusion, they set an example for other jewelry and gift stores to follow.
Their proactive approach fosters an inclusive environment because when you work with them you are immediately in a welcoming and affirming space for all.
The Way Your Wedding Band Shopping Experience Should Be
Your wedding band designing and shopping experience should be fun and cause for celebration. But this can quickly turn into a daunting ordeal, fraught with judgment and exclusion. As an LGBTQ+ and women-owned business, Mountainview Rings and Things promotes and embraces differences, and creates a memorable experience for everyone.
In a world that celebrates these values, it's disheartening to acknowledge that not all spaces embrace these attitudes. Even within the seemingly glamorous realm of jewelry shopping, members of the LGBTQ+ community often encounter challenges when faced with stores that aren't LGBT-friendly.
Engagement and wedding jewelry can be challenging for same-sex couples seeking symbols of their love and commitment. This is the primary reason why they choose to create jewelry and wedding favors that are handmade, unique, and personalized.
Navigating the Challenges of Non-LGBT-Friendly Gift Stores
It’s such an exciting and enjoyable time when you are looking for just the right gifts or wedding favors. And you KNOW when you see the ones that are perfect for the two of you.
Some gift stores have limited options for same-sex couples or a lack of sensitivity to diverse relationship dynamics. Traditional gender norms may dictate the types of favors, gifts, or jewelry available, leaving LGBTQ+ customers feeling underserved and overlooked.
Promoting Inclusivity and Change: Mountainview Rings and Things
Mountainview Rings and Things stands as a beacon of inclusivity in the jewelry, gift, and favor industries. With a commitment to being respectful and sensitive to a couple’s needs, they offer a thoughtful, practical, and non-traditional way of shopping.
A few of the wedding favors and gifts we offer currently:
- Slate coasters
- Bottle openers
- Wooden keepsake boxes
- Metal trinket boxes
- Wine tumblers (coming soon!)

Final Thoughts
The challenges of working with people or stores that aren't LGBT-friendly highlight larger issues of discrimination and exclusion in our society. Mountainview Rings and Things demonstrates that change is possible.
By promoting diversity and inclusion, they can create a more just and equitable world for everyone, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. Together, we can ensure that shopping for jewelry, favors or gifts is a joyful and affirming experience for all individuals, regardless of who they love or how they identify.
They look forward to working with you!
