A Guide to Ring Engravings: Personalizing Your Love Story

One of the first questions our clients often ask during their first appointment is, "What should we engrave on our rings?" A thoughtful engraving transforms a ring into a meaningful keepsake. Whether it’s a wedding band, engagement ring, or a special gift, an engraving makes your jewellery feel personalized.

Here’s how to choose the perfect engraving for your ring.

Why Engravings Matter

An engraving is more than a design detail—it’s a way to capture a memory, promise, or a shared moment. It makes your ring not just a symbol of love but a personal connection to your story.

What to Engrave

Not sure where to start? Here are some timeless ideas.

Dates That Matter

Your wedding day, engagement date, or the day you first met.
Example: “05.06.2025” or “Forever 12.12.22.”

Names or Initials

Simple and classic, they always hold meaning.
Example: “A&J” or “Hans & Lila.”

Short Messages

 A heartfelt phrase that resonates with you both.
Example: “Forever Yours” or “My Always.”

Inside Jokes or Secret Codes

Something only you two will understand.
Example: “You’re My Lobster” or “OTP 4 Life.”

Symbols and Morse Code

Subtle yet meaningful engravings like dots, dashes, or icons.
Example: “•• •-•• -•- -” (I Love You).

Song Lyrics or Poetry

 A favorite line that says it all.
Example: “All of me loves all of you.”

Coordinates

The place where your story began or reached a milestone.
Example: “40.7128° N, 74.0060° W.”

 

Choosing the Right Engraving

Before deciding, keep these tips in mind.

Space Matters

Smaller rings fit less text. Short engravings often work best.

Font Style

A clean, timeless font complements most designs.

Meaning First

Choose something deeply personal over trendy phrases.

Double-Check

Ensure spelling, dates, and translations are accurate.
