Rings are personalized by engraving in a variety of ways. We’re all familiar with those who’ve had their wedding or engagement rings engraved with something special. You’re dealing with limited space to communicate your message, but the options are only limited by your imagination. Some people have engraved the date of the wedding, or perhaps even the date the couple met. Obviously, if you’re engraving a wedding ring, the wedding date is appropriate. In the case of a promise ring, you might consider engraving the day the couple met or the day they became a couple. One might also consider a special word that describes the couple, or even private nicknames shared by the couple. Since the engraving is done on the inner part of the band, it is usually only seen by the wearer; it’s ok to get personal!

Promise rings are really popular among the young who often times aren’t quite ready to get engaged. That does not mean, though, that they are not able to express deep love and commitment. An idea to consider is engraving the names of both parties on the exterior of the promise ring. The addition of gorgeous colored gemstones adds sparkle and beauty to the ring as well.

To personalize a ring, you don’t necessarily have to engrave the band. It’s possible to have gemstones themselves engraved, but this is something fairly specialized that usually requires the stone be sent away. If this appeals to you, though, consult with your local jeweler, who’ll point you in the right direction.

However you choose to personalize your jewelry, there are options aplenty. Engraved rings are a low cost, high impact choice for those who desire a personalized ring.

If budget constraints make a customized ring design out of reach, there is another option. The choice to engrave an anniversary ring is a fabulous and, more importantly, budget-conscious way to personalize a ring.

Engraving rings with romantic messages is a custom dating to the middle ages of Europe. Engravings are typically inside the shank of the ring, and it’s possible to engrave around the stone as well.

Jewelers are usually ready for requests for engraved rings, and have the necessary tools to complete your engraving. When you order your rings, be sure to tell the jeweler that you wish an inscription. Of course, once the ring is ready, check the inscription to be sure no corrections are necessary. If the jeweler is unable to do engravings on site, he or she should be able to refer you somewhere.

Engravings vary in cost, but usually start at about approximately $1 per character. If you desire more complex hand engraving, naturally that comes at a higher cost. Machine engraving can be done on the spot, usually without a wait; hand engraving, depending on the jeweler, can take up to a month.

You’re not restricted to just a short phrase or your wedding date; it’s possible to inscribe longer phrasings. Inscriptions can be done around the rim of a stone, which is visible with a magnifying glass. The Gemological Institute of America can do this for you for a fee, and your jeweler should be able to point you in the right direction if this sounds appealing.

An engraved anniversary ring is a unique gift that has some great appeal. It’s a piece of custom jewelry that doesn’t carry the cost of a “from the ground up” custom design. The right inscription conveys your love and devotion, and it lasts for a lifetime. For those with the long view, it has heirloom quality, something that can be passed down in the future. Choosing the right gift for a wedding anniversary can be intimidating, but with a little time and attention, you can make a choice that will last a lifetime.
