Wedding ring engraving is a popular way to add a personal touch to a special piece of jewelry. From quotes to personal messages, it can be a thoughtful way to show the one you love you know them well. But before you set your mind on wedding ring engraving, there are a few questions to consider—especially if this will be a surprise for your loved one.
Consider the following before you set up a service for wedding ring engraving at Dondero’s Jewelry.
The width of a ring can be an important factor in the ability to engrave at all. In recent years, skinny bands have become a popular choice, however, they leave little to no room for the engraver to work. We recommend rings that are no smaller than 3mm in width. This will help give us enough space to engrave your words with ease, however, 2mm width would be the minimum.
Does the ring fit?
If you have your heart set on wedding ring engraving, make sure the ring fits first. Whether it’s a surprise for a loved one, or something you want for yourself, a perfect fit is key. If after a ring is engraved, it turns out to be too big or too small, the ring will need resizing. In the process of sizing up or down a ring, the engravement will be ruined and will need to be removed altogether. So, be sure to double check before you set up your service!
How long should the phrase be?
The length of the phrase you wish to have inscribed on the inside of your ring will likely dictate how large or how small the phrase can be. When it comes to wedding ring engraving, less is often more. Some choose a single word, a significant date, or a brief quote to include in their engravings. Most rings can hold between 15 and 20 characters, depending on the size, font, and setting style of the ring itself. The size and legibility of the inscription is important. So, if you’re wondering what you should have inscribed on the ring, we suggest going with something brief and significant to you and your loved one.
