A wedding ring is meant to last a lifetime as a symbol of love and togetherness. For that reason, many choose to have it engraved before the wedding. What is written can be very individual, although there are customs and practices associated with wedding ring engraving.
Choose the right engraving
If you want to engrave your wedding ring, you can choose either to go the traditional route or to come up with something completely your own. The most classic variant is to engrave the wedding date, often in combination with the spouse's or husband's name. Next to the name or date, you can engrave a small symbol, for example a heart or an eternity sign, which means something very special to the couple.
Find inspiration in music and poetry
For those who want to do something extra romantic, it can be nice to engrave a couple of words or a small phrase, for example "Always in my heart" or "I love you". Others choose to quote something from a poem or a song that means something special. When an engraving is to be made for a wedding ring, it is important that everything fits, and therefore it is generally said that the text can be between 30 and 70 characters depending on the model. For example, the quote "You are the most beautiful I know" contains 26 characters while "You are in my heart, my soul and my everything, most beautiful darling." goes on 68. Different fonts can take up more or less space, and therefore it may be wise to first choose which font and then decide what it should say and how long the text should be.
Engrave the wedding ring on the outside
The most common thing is for wedding rings to be engraved on the inside, but it is also a matter of taste. Instead, putting the engraving on the outside of the wedding ring becomes a real "statement" and a lovely reminder for the wearer of how much he or she means to his or her partner. Contact one of our skilled dealers if you want an engraving on the outside.
Engraving with a secret message
Among the most romantic and heartfelt things one can engrave on a wedding ring is something that only the couple understands. For example, a secret message could be a date when something happened for the first time or a nickname that no one else understands. Some people think it's fun with a slightly more joking message, such as "Belongs to (spouse's name)" or a quote from a romantic comedy like "You had me at hello".
An engraving for life
By making the wedding ring personal with engraving, it will become absolutely priceless for its wearer. Feeling that the words, numbers or symbols really mean something becomes a nice companion throughout life, and a constant reminder of love through thick and thin. If you can't figure out what to say, you don't need to stress - you can always make an engraving for the wedding ring afterwards.
