5 Ideas For Engraving Your Wedding Rings

Wedding rings are one of the most beautiful ways to seal your commitment and partnership with someone you love and want to be with. There are several ways to make your ring a lot more unique and exclusive for your partner, and some of them include buying it in their favourite colour, buying from their favourite store, using a family heirloom, etc. However, one of the best ways to make your wedding ring special is to have it engraved. You can say even more words without uttering them and let your spouse know how much they mean to you with an inscription. However, wedding ring engraving might not be as easy as it is beautiful because there are so many things to consider, like the type of engraving to use, should it be words or images, etc. Considering all that is required, you might need to give up on the idea altogether, but here are three reasons you should consider engraving your wedding rings or investing in engraved jewellery.

1. Exclusivity: In a world where almost everything is accessible, and nothing can be genuinely exclusive anymore, it's the most extraordinary feeling to think someone went through all the stress to make a ring truly and exclusively yours.
2. Commemoration: Another unique value that engraved wedding rings offer is the continual celebration of what that ring represents. For some people, it is their engagement name. For others, it is the location. Whatever you want can be engraved on your jewellery precisely like you want it to look.
3. Privacy: While few people engrave their rings on the outer part, most people tend to engrave in the inner part of the rings, thereby having a private little joke or a sweet moment between you and your spouse that no one else knows about.
4. Security: If for any reason, the wedding rings get lost or stolen, they would be easy to identify amongst a pool of other rings even if they all have the same colour, style, or design.

So, if you are about to get married and looking for a way to make your rings extra special, but are unsure of what to engrave on them, here are a few ideas that you can explore:

1. Precious Dates: Significant dates are the most common engravings for engagement and wedding rings. There are so many dates that mean many things to different couples, all of which can be worth remembering. Some of these dates can be the day you met, your first date, the day you got engaged, your wedding, etc.

Dates come with precious memories. They are one of the quickest ways to remind someone of your love, recognition of special moments, and commitment to cherish and hold these moments dear continually.

1. Names: Names are another beautiful way to make your wedding rings personalized and memorable. There are so many ways you can coin the names you decide to include on your rings. They can be first names like 'Brad & Jenny'; some people prefer initials alone like 'B & J'; while others like for it to include their professions or titles' Judge Jenny' or 'Dr. Brad'. Another way to make this work is to use your last name e.g. 'Mr. Brad' or 'Mrs. Brad'.

Here are a few suggestions of name styles that you can explore:

• Monograms: You can choose to play around with each other's names until you can come up with a lovely monogram from both names. You can also choose to use your initials to create a monogram for the rings.
• Nicknames: Another remarkable way to engrave your name on rings is to use each other's nicknames. You can also choose to engrave a nickname only both parties are aware of, and not the general one everyone knows.

1. Concise Emotional Statements: Certain sentimental expressions are great for engraving your wedding rings. These sentiments or quotes can be things you often say to your partner or something you would like them to remember as often as possible.

If you do not have something particularly special and exclusive that you often say to your partner, you can either try or tweak some of these suggestions for your engraving:

• You are my forever
• You are my world
• I choose us always
• You have my heart
• Together forever

1. Location Coordinates: When looking to explore engraving ideas on your rings, another unique way of making it precious and exclusive is engraving location coordinates. Your choice of location coordinate can be a place that is the center of your relationship, like the first place you met, the location the proposal happened, your wedding location, etc.

Engraving a location coordinate makes your ring unique and intimate because it helps treasure some of the essential locations in your relationship's start, maintenance, and growth.

1. Images: Sometimes, words do not carry the intensity of expressions, and that's where the use of photos comes in. There are general images considered expressions of love, partnership, and relationship, like the love symbol, the Ying yang symbol, the infinity sign, etc.

If you would instead opt for something more personal to you and your spouse, you can create an image of your fingerprints, her favorite image, or an illustration that is personal to them. Whatever image you decide to use for the engravement, it is important that you are conscious of the size because of your ring bands.
