The Acceptance Ring is being offered by [Airbnb](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airbnb-1), and the jewelry piece along with its accompanying campaign was created in the hopes that it would promote equality in Australia.

The Acceptance Ring is matte black in color and not fully formed, coming in a circular shape that has a gap in it. It comes with the engraved slogan "Until we all belong" and seeks to highlight the fact that marriage equality does not yet exist in Australia. The campaign is supported by other brands as well, including Qantas, [Google](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/generation-3), ANZ and [eBay](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/up-running-grants). It comes with pictures of people wearing the matte black ring, along with an ad that discusses the cause.

Airbnb's involvement in this important cause speaks to the power of brands to spark and accelerate debates that involve civil rights and equality for all.
