Tiffany & Co. vp North American PR Linda Buckley told Elle in a statement: “Nowadays, the road to marriage is no longer linear, and true love can happen more than once with love stories coming in a variety of forms. The Tiffany engagement ring is the first sentence of the story that a couple will write together as they create a life that is deeply intimate and exceptional, which is the message we hope to convey through this campaign.”

This isn’t the first time the company has shown support for same-sex couples. Last month, it included a gay couple in the holiday window display at its flagship store on New York’s Fifth Avenue.
