How Pleasing is it to Find One-of-a-Kind Engagement Rings for Your Soulmate?
Finding the perfect custom-made jewelry can be a challenge. But if you’re in search of the ideal engagement ring, I’ve got you covered. This next brand is not only delivering custom-made jewelry, but it’s also addressing the LGBTQ+ community, specifically non-traditional couples who appreciate unique and different pieces. Indeed, many traditional jewelers may not cater to their unique styles or preferences, leaving them feeling excluded and unheard.
VENVS is an innovative brand founded by the visionary Haley Biemiller, who lives in Toronto with her loving wife, Jenna, and their adorable cat. The brand offers a stunning selection of custom-made jewelry designed featuring one-of-a-kind stones and intricate designs. In her interview with Ben Ari from Medium, Biemiller revealed how her childhood experiences and family influences shaped her career path.
As early as her teenage years, along with her sister, she formed a clothing brand and repurposed vintage pieces, like old Levi’s from Goodwill. It was a labor of love fueled by their unwavering passion, creativity, and ambition. That initial experimentation with the fashion world was just the beginning. Her passion for design and entrepreneurship only grew stronger with time.
Biemiller’s inspiration for creating the brand came from the need to provide a safe space in the jewelry industry for anyone who wants to express their unique style through jewelry. Thus, the choice behind creating each piece is rather than random. With expertise in engagement rings, Biemiller highlights the beauty of unconventional gemstones and “imperfect” diamonds, like salt and pepper, that perfectly align with the aesthetic of unconventional couples.
Each piece is designed to reflect the unique qualities and quirks of each couple, including different gemstones such as black diamonds, labradorite, and opal.
The creative New Yorker created her small, LGBTQ+, all-inclusive jewelry brand in July 2020 as a safe, welcoming space for underrepresented people. Her vision was born when she was hunting for the perfect engagement ring for her now-wife.
The judgmental looks of the store owners, who didn’t know how to react to a queer woman buying a ring for another woman, were the pretext for building her company. The founder’s mission is to celebrate love in all forms while genuinely making her customers happy.
Love comes in all shapes, sizes, and forms.
Yet, society often restricts what is considered “acceptable” for couples. In a world where social injustice and inequality persist, brands like VENVS promote fairness, diversity, and equality. One of the reasons the brand has become so popular is that it consists of a tight-knit group of individuals who are passionate about what they do. Their personalized approach allows them to create jewelry that tells a story, capturing the essence of each couple’s unique love journey. With a firm belief that every couple deserves a unique representation of their love, VENVS takes the time to understand their clients on a personal level, creating jewelry that speaks to their hearts and souls. And that’s what VENVS is all about—celebrating love beyond the boundaries of convention. Their jewelry is not just for the LGBTQ+ community but anyone who wants to express their love.
During Pride Month, but not exclusively, it’s essential to celebrate brands that embody the true spirit of inclusivity. Whether you’re a queer couple, an unconventional pair, or simply someone who wants a unique and meaningful engagement ring, VENVS is here to help you find the perfect symbol of your love.
From exquisite engagement rings to dazzling wedding bands, the brand crafts masterpieces destined to become cherished heirlooms.

For those seeking a more personalized touch, Venvs also offers one-on-one virtual consultations, where clients can discuss their vision and have a piece of jewelry crafted to their exact specifications.
