Now that you know what types of Rings can be engraved, let's look at some of the best Engravings to get engraved on rings...
Below are examples of engravings, some odd, some fun, but all interesting to say the least. They are a mix of quotes, sayings, poetry and cheesy ideas. Use them as a starting point and come up with ones you like.
P.S. You don't want to do this at the Jeweler! The last thing you want to do, is to stand there at the Jewelry Counter for a 1/2 hour looking at the ring like a dummy, because you have no idea what you want it to say. Figure out what you want first! Once you have a bunch of ideas written down, (Don't leave Spelling up to the Jeweler either!) go to your local Jeweler and see what can actually fit on the ring. Every ring is different! (Make sure you take the ring with you!) The Jeweler should be able to make some accurate predictions on space and requirements after looking at the shank. From there you can whittle it down and ultimately have your ring engraved. Engraving prices usually are included in the sale of the ring, or at worst, very minimal! (A dollar or two for each letter is average!)
So here we go... Whether it be classic, cute, romantic, cheesy, silly or sexy, these engravings and quotes should get your started!

Some people want graphics engraved like Hearts or Smiley Faces or cute little things like:
(
I Love You!)
But most engravers can't engrave anything beyond letters and numbers. Some can't even engrave dashes, hyphens or punctuation! It all depends on the machine they use and the age of the machine. If you run into a Jeweler that has one of those new Modern
Laser Engraving machines, you're in luck. Laser's work wonders and can do just about any engraving! I highly recommend it!
And while you're thinking about getting your ring engraved, let me say a few words about fonts and lettering styles. Jewelers usually have about 5 or 6 different styles of lettering for you to choose from. They may look fun and cool, but I usually advise against them. When you're dealing with such small letters, you're going to want it easy to read. Script letters and fancy fonts have lots of curved lines and swirling trails that make words hard to read. You don't want anyone to wonder what it is you meant to say. "Does that say Hello or Jello???" Plus fancy fonts take up more space than the classic block letters. Block letters are best! I say, always go with the classic fonts, they are neat, clean and easy to read!
So whether you go with your Wedding Date, a Romantic Saying, an Inside Joke, Initials, Nicknames, Your Song, a Bible Verse, Wedding Vows or just a Declaration of Love... Keep it personal, keep it light, and keep it fun! It'll be there forever!
And what ever you do, keep the engraving a secret! Don't tell the other person what it is that you're getting engraved. Let them find out on your special day. It'll give your rings more meaning and it'll add a little more excitement to cherish and adore! That little message of unity is a bond and a promise that you can never break! Enjoy yours!
