Wedding, engagement, and promise rings symbolize your love and commitment — so they should be as unique and special as your one-of-a-kind love story. Adding an engraving, a secret message inscribed along a ring's inner edge, is a meaningful way to add a personalized touch to an already sentimental piece. Practiced for centuries, engraving is a popular and heartfelt way to write a love note to your partner.

What to Engrave on a Wedding Band

Wedding bands are symbols of forever. When wondering what to engrave them with, consider a meaningful moment, date, or saying that you and your partner share. Your wedding ring engravings can be exact matches for each other or completely unique. Remember, there are no rules! Your engraving doesn't have to be romantic or serious – just express your personality.

What to Engrave on an Engagement Ring

Proposing with an engagement ring is an incredibly romantic gesture that symbolizes the love and commitment between you and your partner, as well as your readiness to take the next step with them. You may want to surprise them with an engraving when you pop the question - it could read, "Love You Forever" or "Now and Always" to further express your future together. If you are more traditional, you could opt to engrave the date of your engagement, or the date you first met, or your initials along the band

What to Engrave on a Promise Ring

Promise rings, precursors to engagement rings, are given to a partner prior to a formal engagement as a symbol of hope and commitment for the next chapter of your life together. When considering what to engrave on a promise ring, look towards your next step: what are you the most excited about in the future? How do you picture your life together? What qualities will be important in a long-lasting relationship? Then, engrave a word or sentence that encompasses it. You can also look to the past and engrave the date you first met or an anecdote about your first date.
