Engraved Wedding Rings

One of the most exciting things for engaged couples is the purchase of their wedding rings. Rings symbolize a commitment of love, loyalty, and trust between a bride and groom.

Many couples like to create an even more personal moment by engraving a special saying or verse on their wedding bands as a further expression of their love. This is a wonderful way to reflect the feelings of adoration and love between a couple, sentiments of adoration and affection can be preserved throughout a whole life time between husband and wife.

Having your rings engraved create a totally unique and personal treasure that can be preserved throughout family generations. The intimate words of love between two people are what makes your rings” truly yours”, and unique.

Today there are many engraving techniques that can be applied to a wedding band. Some of these techniques can include lasers, diamond tipped tools and other machining to create some very intricate and detailed lettering in different fonts or even in some cases imagery.Couples can even have the option of exterior engravings that encircle the ring itself.

Ideally the engraving should be done after the ring has been fitted to the right size otherwise the engraving can become distorted or damaged if the band needs to be resized afterwards. However it is possible to resize a ring after it has been engraved if the lettering is especially small or the engraving is not actually on the band but on the crown.

The cost of engraving a wedding ring depends on the tools required, the type of metal and the delicacy of the ring, also the length of the sentiment will affect the cost and of course whether or the job must be done quickly or not. There are a number of different options a couple can choose from as to what to engrave on their wedding rings.

Many couples choose to write something that is simple yet meaningful such as having both their initials engraved on their bands or possibly other symbols that express their feelings. Others may prefer to engrave their first names or a phrase or saying that is particularly sentimental and personal only to them.

Also as another idea, a couple may choose to inscribe a special bible verse or poem that they find meaningful. When deciding on what type of inscription you want on your wedding ring, it is important to think of something that will remain timeless as the commitment it represents. In other words there may be expressions that are popular today, yet may become cliché years down the line. Also it is very important to make sure that when you fill out the engraving order form, that it is written in very clear, neat writing and that the proper spacing is specified. Make sure to check and double check all spellings. The last thing you need are spelling mistakes on your expensive wedding ring, there is nothing more disheartening than having your precious ring ruined by something you could have avoided. For the best results it is recommended to opt for thicker deeper engravings on your band as thinner, more fine lettering may fade over time. Another important tip is to make sure you allow enough time to have your ring engraved in case there are errors or delays with the jeweler.
