Personalizing your wedding band or engagement ring is a simple yet beautiful way to show your special bond—or to add a personal touch that will stand out from any other piece of jewelry.
Engravable rings are available for any occasion (such as a promise ring), but they’re particularly popular for wedding bands and engagement rings. For example, check out these two stunning styles: a classic wedding band like this example from Blue Nile and this halo engagement ring from James Allen. These are beautiful rings that are made even more special with their engraved message.
No matter which type of precious metal you choose, you can have your ring engraved with what you want. The most popular method for engraving is laser engraving, which uses a laser to etch the design into your ring. It’s a safe method that won’t harm the jewelry but will last for many years.
Wondering what to engrave on your ring? Include names, the date you met, the date you got engaged, your initials, your wedding day, a phrase or anything that carries special meaning to you. The most important component is to engrave with a personal touch.
If you’re not looking to purchase an engagement ring or wedding band, there are several other ring styles that can be personalized gifts. From ornate eternity bands like this one from Blue Nile to stunning birthstone rings like this ruby halo ring from James Allen, you can design one-of-a-kind jewelry.
Common occasions to give someone an engraved ring:
Be careful what jewelry you choose as a gift. For instance, if you choose to give your girlfriend a ring as Christmas jewelry or Valentine’s Day jewelry and you’re not ready to propose, it can send mixed messages.
