Jewelry Engraving Guide
A few words inside a band can mean more than the ring itself. Here is how to choose text, placement and font for engraving.
What to engrave
Popular choices are names and dates, short vows, coordinates, or a symbol like an infinity sign. Keep it under 30 characters for readability on most ring surfaces. Start with a ring.
Engraving options
| Style | Look | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Block | Clean, classic | Dates, initials |
| Script | Elegant, cursive | Names, vows |
| Symbol | Minimal icons | Infinity, hearts |
Practical tips
Inside of the band is the classic spot. Machine engraving is precise and affordable; hand engraving is deeper and more artistic. Make sure the jeweler can re-polish without removing the engraving. Ask about custom engraving.
