Rings have been a symbol of marriage for over 6,000 years, but their modern (and more importantly, precious metal) interpretation can be traced to the Middle Ages. The idea of engraved wedding rings is almost as old as the tradition itself. While engraving is a sweet way to customize your wedding rings, it also adds a measure of security if your ring is ever misplaced or stolen.

What’s the right line to engrave on your wedding rings? That’s purely up to the heart. Keep in mind that character count varies based on style and ring size, but if you’re just stumbling for some inspiration, here are some of our favorite ideas.

To be engraved, a ring must be thick enough to support the lettering. Most rings are just the right size, but particularly dainty or thin rings may not be suitable for engraving. Some metals may not work for engraving, but gold and platinum are always popular choices for personalized ring engraving.

Engraving is not required for rings, but it can add extra meaning to this sentimental jewelry. Many people choose to have a special message or important date added to their ring. When looking into ring engraving, consider short sentiments with a lot of meaning. Stick with one font for consistency.
