Where will the engraving be positioned on my ring?

Each men's wedding band has a (1) metal quality stamp (i.e. a stamp required to identify the authenticity of the metal used in the ring e.g. 925 - for sterling silver or 18k - for gold) and/or (2) the designer's logo (e.g. designer's like HISŪ have a very small logo stamped into the ring along side the quality stamp) and/or (3) an embedded diamond (as in the HISŪ collection).

The engraving on your ring will be positioned opposite those other elements as indicated in the image to the right. .

The engraving will begin with space following the stamp. Please note our engravers will try their best to accurately center the inscription depending on the number of characters you submit for engraving.

Ring Engraving

What type of engraving font will be used on my ring?

A single-line block font (similar to the Arial Narrow font on your computer) in uppercase lettering is used when engraving an inscription into a wedding ring.

This particular font allows for deep engraving, uniformity and clear legibility on small curved surfaces such as the inside of a ring.

- Please note that the font image shown here is from the stencil that is used. The actual line engraving takes place within the outlines.

Why can I only engrave up to 20 characters on my ring?

Our engravers have recommend a limit of 20 characters for 2 reasons: Firstly, to allow for your inscription to be centered as best as possible opposite the ring's markings (stamps, logos, diamond) and secondly for the engraving to be adequately spaced from those elements (i.e. markings, diamond etc.), so that your engraving looks well balanced on the inside of your ring.

The 20 character limit includes: Letters, Numbers, Punctuation Marks and Spaces.

Will the engraving on my ring fade?

No, it will not.

The engraving of your ring is done by our professional engravers who have over 15 years of experience engraving jewelry. They will ensure that each engraved character is adequately deep enough and proportionally spaced for your inscription to be clear, legible and durable so that it will not fade or wear-off.

What is usually engraved on a mans wedding ring?

In all honesty, engraved inscriptions are a matter of personal preference and should be from the heart. But that said, we have complied a list of suggestions, that several customers have engraved (or have had engraved) on their wedding bands over the years

Please keep in mind that these are only suggestions, some of which are of a more traditional in tone and others a little more flippant and light hearted.

As mentioned, you should try to inscribe something that is personally heartfelt. But feel free to use the following as a reference for your own inscription and remember to keep it to 20 characters or less. (1. & 2. below, are by far the most utilized on wedding rings)

  1. A Wedding Date (e.g. 07-07-07 or 07-07-200 or July 07 2007 etc.)
  2. Initials - Date - Initials (e.g. JFK 07-07-07 MMM)
  3. I LOVE YOU
  4. WITH ALL MY HEART
  5. MY HEART IS YOURS
  6. MY DREAM COME TRUE
  7. MY EVERYTHING
  8. FOREVER YOURS
  9. WALK WITH ME
  10. PUT ME BACK ON
  11. STUCK TOGETHER
  12. NO REFUNDS
  13. A DEAL IS A DEAL
