Lately, wedding rings with inscriptions have experienced a new surge in popularity. Newlyweds order inscriptions not only in their native language, but in English, French and other foreign languages, and even in Latin.
The engraver is asked to write phrases of a romantic, philosophical or humorous nature on the inside and outside of the ring. In this publication, we will take a comprehensive look at examples of inscriptions on engraved wedding rings, as well as photos of different options.
Engraving Features
Some newlyweds who want to engrave their wedding rings are faced with the fact that their parents and older relatives begin to dissuade them from such an idea, citing omens. Indeed, there is a sign that the smoother a couple’s wedding rings are, the smoother their family life will be.
In Soviet times, all wedding rings had a classic look - a smooth gold rim. The rings differed only in width and size. However, there were many unhappy couples and divorces.
Modern wedding fashion offers newlyweds a huge selection of wedding rings that have slots, textured surfaces and other decorative elements that make the product voluminous.
Everyone decides to independently believe in a sign or wear a symbol of a concluded marriage on their finger, chosen to their liking.
The second sign says that wedding rings should not be given to anyone before the wedding and marriage at the registry office. It's easy to get around this sign. Have your rings engraved after your wedding and wear them with pleasure for the rest of your life.
How much does it cost to do
Applying an inscription to one gold piece of jewelry (on one side) costs approximately 500 rubles. If the shape of the product is complex, you will need to pay 300-600 rubles more. Engraving on rings with stones costs 1000-1500 rubles. If we are talking about base metals, you will need about 400 rubles.
If you are not afraid of ruining the ring and it is inexpensive, you can try engraving it yourself at home. Here is an interesting video with a detailed action plan, only here the inscription is on the spoon:
It doesn’t matter what you write on the rings, the main thing is that it will bring you even closer together!
Approaches to choosing an inscription
Engraved wedding ring.
Engraving can be applied to the inside and outside of the ring. The first option is more popular. After all, newlyweds often order very personal phrases that are not intended for prying eyes.
In addition, such engraving is not influenced by environmental factors and remains in excellent condition longer, without requiring restoration.
Today, there are many types of engraving. The most popular is laser technology, which allows you to get the perfect result. Newlyweds order hand, diamond and fine engraving, as well as photo engraving.
The workshop will offer a choice of several types of monogram and decorative fonts.
Experts believe that the optimal length of a phrase does not exceed 20 letters. However, some couples wish to have a line from their favorite song and movie engraved.
In this case, the master places it in two lines, choosing the optimal height of the letters and the distance between the lines. But still the phrase should not be too long. After all, it will need to be written legibly on a thin ring.
Laser and mechanical engraving of rings
Laser engraving is now in fashion, and many customers prefer it. When engraving a ring, an image or inscription is most often applied to the inside. Customers ask to imprint the wedding date, names, and words of love on the gold surface. Although an inscription or ornament applied using a laser beam to the outer surface of the product is also not uncommon. Laser engraving belongs to the category of high technologies; a computer is involved in the work process; images can be replicated.
With mechanical and manual engraving, the tool leaves clear lines with shiny edges on the metal. But hand engraving makes each product unique.
Manual and mechanical engraving
Laser technology has not replaced manual and mechanical engraving. Each method occupies its own niche, the quality of products varies from mass crafts to works of art.
The choice of a mechanical engraving method is dictated by an individual approach to both the image applied to the product and the material of the product, when laser engraving is unacceptable. A cutter for mechanical carving, a graver, is made of especially strong steel and is sharpened sharply. With mechanical engraving, as with laser engraving, the layer of removed metal varies, but the edges of the strokes are clear and shiny.
Hand engraving has evolved over the centuries. Engravings and book pages were cut out on metal plates. Weapons and metal cups were decorated with complex carvings.

Engraving
Hand engraving
The emergence of hand engraving as a processing method was largely facilitated by the physical properties of the precious metal.
As you know, gold is a very soft metal and can be easily damaged. However, our ancestors realized that in this way it was possible to create drawings on the surface of gold products. This is how the technology of hand engraving appeared. During its existence, it has remained virtually unchanged since its inception thousands of years ago.
This type of decorative work is a delicate process that fully reflects the phraseology “jewelry work”. When performing it, the master has no right to make a mistake: the slightest deviation from the original plan will ruin the jewelry.
A specialist engraver performs his work using gravers - special tools for engraving. They are used by the craftsman to apply a design onto the jewelry.

Hand engraving technology is special not only because the design on each piece is unique, but also because it is performed exclusively by a highly qualified jeweler who truly puts his whole soul into the jewelry. It is by hand engraving that complex artistic ornaments are made that are durable and reliable. The owner of such jewelry may consider it truly exclusive - after all, there is a high probability that there is no other item exactly like it.
Laser engraving
The opposite of hand engraving, the method of application of which has remained unchanged for thousands of years, is laser processing. This relatively new method (especially compared to its “big brother”) allows you to apply the most accurate and clear design on a piece of jewelry.
Laser engraving is applied on a special modern machine. Using this decoration technique, a master jeweler can create an image on a piece of jewelry that is comparable in quality to a photograph.
The principle of the technology is quite simple - a product blank is placed under a laser beam, after which engraving is applied according to the image programmed into the machine. In areas affected by the beam, a change in the structure or color of the metal surface occurs. The machine allows you to apply up to twenty lines per millimeter, allowing you to achieve a clear image.
The laser engraving method, despite its relative youth, is extremely popular among jewelers. It is especially actively used in the manufacture of religious jewelry, because with its help it is possible to apply images to body icons that most accurately convey the resemblance to the canonical ones.
What type of engraving in jewelry would you prefer? Time-tested manual or modern laser?
What do they write in Latin?
Many newlyweds believe that the phrase that will be engraved on their wedding bands should remain very personal, as they say, not for prying eyes. Few people know Latin. Therefore, even if someone sees the inscription, they will not be able to translate it.

Engraving on wedding rings, drawing
Ideas for engraving on wedding rings are not limited to inscriptions; engravers often apply drawings and symbols. For example, a couple with the surname King applied to the Palace of Wedding Rings, and wedding rings with the image of a crown were made for them - very symbolically. You can take any symbol that is significant to you: someone met at the gym and decided to put an image of dumbbells on the headband in honor of this, others call each other a cat and a bunny, and therefore images of these cute animals appear on the rings.
The most common example of engraving on wedding rings is hearts. In addition to them, the symbols of Yin-Yang, Venus and Mars, and the infinity sign are relevant. Fingerprints may also be applied. Believers often order hidden engravings with religious symbols, fans of horoscopes - the zodiac signs of spouses, and those who are interested in the magic of runes - secret application of runograms. An innovation in recent years is the geographic coordinates of the area where lovers met or confessed their love to each other.

Engraving Tips
Your marriage symbols don't have to cost a fortune to be unique! And a simple glossy classic ring will sparkle if you order external engraving. Medium and wide rings (from 3-4 mm) are best suited for this purpose. Models with a punched (openwork) pattern and some wedding rings with stones, for example, with inserts along the entire rim, are not suitable.
To obtain a readable engraving (external or internal) on a wedding ring, the text should not be too long. You can place about 20 letters with spaces on the rim; this is the kind of phrase that will be read well. There is an interesting way to determine the optimal length of the text - the size of the rim, the number of letters. Although, if you place a long statement on the outside of the washer ring, then from a distance it will look like a hoop pattern - an interesting technique for lovers of secrets and riddles.
Excessive ornateness in the font impairs readability, but young people do not always want the meaning of the inscription to be clear to everyone. The almost unreadable gothic on the outer part of the rim can be perceived as a pattern, while carrying a secret message that only two people can understand.
Over time, the engraving may become less clear - gold is a soft metal, inscriptions and drawings applied to it are erased, this is a natural process. Don't be upset - you can always update them! Engraving the outside of the ring will limit the ability to increase or decrease its size.
What does the price consist of?
It should be noted that the price never depends on the length of the inscription. The cost of one letter or an entire sentence always costs the same.
Engraving work will depend on:
- The complexity of the fonts used.
- The material from which the ring is made (it is believed that, for example, making diamond engraving on gold is more difficult than on silver, because gold is softer, so greater precision in work is required. However, the cost differs by only 100 rubles).
- The complexity of the configuration of the ring itself (for example, if there is an element of inlay with stones, then special precision is required so as not to damage them).
- The complexity of the applied pattern.
The most difficult thing is to draw a picture of the owner’s fingerprint - such a picture costs from 2,000 rubles .
