7 Romantic Engravings To Personalize Your Proposal Ring
Custom proposal rings and wedding bands are heartfelt and personal pieces of jewelry that reflect your unique love story. However, a subtle way to add a little something special to your unique engagement ring or wedding rings is by inscribing a secret message that only you two know about. Not only is it a romantic way to express this one-of-a-kind love you share, but it is also a foolproof way to distinguish your jewelry from others!
The thought of perfectly matched custom-made jewelry is oh so sweet, but it can be intimidating to decide on something that will ultimately stay on your bespoke rings forever. As you mull over the variety of fun ideas, here are 7 unique engraving ideas to consider when creating your custom ring.
1. Special dates
There is a cryptic element that comes into play when using special dates. Because they carry significance only to the two of you, no one else needs to know what those digits stand for! The date you choose could be any notable milestone you would like to commemorate, such as your first date, first kiss, or a special anniversary.
A slightly unorthodox and creative way to incorporate dates is to use them as a code to symbolize anything you desire like a secret message or your combined birthdays. Moreover, you have the option to switch the dates up from more classic fonts to Roman numerals if you would like to go for a more vintage feel.
2. Initials
For those who prefer subtlety but prefer alphabets over numbers, initials are an excellent choice to have engraved on your wedding bands. For an added flair, you can choose a font that expresses both personalities, or even get it engraved in your own handwriting. This makes for a deeper personal significance that best represents both of you.
3. Fingerprints
For an inscription that is as distinctive as your love story, fingerprints are an unexpected choice to create a visual bond between your rings. As no two fingerprints are the same, their inherent uniqueness makes this choice perfect for wedding bands.
Die-hard romantics can even have your fingerprints arranged to form special shapes when put together e.g. hearts (contact us for examples). You can also choose between engraving ‘his and hers’ fingerprint on the outside or inside of your wedding band (though it is important to keep in mind that a ring width of approximately 3mm and up is advisable for there to be enough room for the fingerprint to be visible)
4. Hand-drawn images
Wish to personalize your ring with a handwritten message or hand-drawn image because you truly believe words are not enough? Well, depending on the jeweler you are working with, they might accommodate your wishes!
Here at August Bespoke, our jewelry customization services offer the possibility of engraving handwritten messages or pictures. All you need to do is share a sample drawing with us so we can resize it to make it fit your finished piece.
5. A forever promise
Promises mark your commitment to each other and serve as a reminder of your love throughout the highs and lows of your relationship. For couples who wish to be reminded of their commitment, you can opt for shortened versions of your vows to be engraved. You can even have them written in a different language for a creative twist.
Not only are you holding these promises in your heart, but on your ring as well. Doesn’t that just scream romance in a whole new light?
6. Special Symbols
Who said engravings have to be limited to words and pictures? Symbols are another way to make a jewelry piece stand out, especially if it holds sentimental meaning to both of you. So, if there is a symbol you find that best resonates with your love story, go ahead and have it inscribed to your ring!
For inspiration purposes, symbols could include anything from a particular animal to represent a nickname or an emoticon you both love.
7. A place that holds special meaning
Perhaps there is a place that you hold dearly in your heart - the town you met, a place you two love traveling to, or a dream destination on your bucket list. These can be reflected on your jewelry piece through geographical coordinates or even a drawing, so you can keep that feeling in your heart (and your ring) wherever you go.
Conclusion
Deciding on a ring engraving might seem like a difficult task, but it will all be worth it once you get to don a wedding band that’s like no other.
