Wedding Ring Engraving Ideas

Wedding bands are symbols of your love and commitment to your spouse. Many couples choose to have their wedding bands personalized with engraving on the inside, while others prefer not to. Here are some reasons you might choose to have your bands engraved (and some ideas for selecting your engraving).

Reasons to Have Your Wedding Bands Engraved

Most of the couples we serve at Koser choose to have their wedding bands engraved. There are several reasons why you may want to consider having yours engraved, as well. Engraving inside your wedding band is sentimental, and it allows you to share something special with your significant other. Better yet, it’s entirely up to you whether you share your engraving with the world or choose to keep it a secret as a couple. 

Many of our couples choose traditional engravings, such as their initials or a significant date. There are no rules when it comes to engraving, but try to choose something that represents who you are as a couple. Some of our couples even choose to engrave messages to each other that won’t be revealed until the wedding day. (We love a good surprise!)

What Should You Have Engraved on Your Wedding Band?

If you like this idea but aren’t sure what to have engraved on your rings, here are some of the most common choices:

• Your wedding date
• The date you first met
• A meaningful word or phrase
• A private message
• A monogram 
• Your spouse’s initials (or both of your initials)
• A meaningful symbol (such as a heart or a cross)
• A quote (such as a movie quote or Bible verse)

When Should You Have Your Bands Engraved?

You can have your wedding bands engraved immediately after purchasing them, or you can choose to wait until right before the wedding. If you’re having your rings engraved at Koser Jewelers, be sure to call ahead and speak with our engraving specialist to get an accurate projection of our turnaround times. Some engraving jobs can be done very quickly, while others are more time-consuming. 

What Else to Consider About Wedding Band Engraving

Ring engraving is simple and easy for most precious metal wedding bands, but it can be more difficult for certain rings. For example, if your wedding band is very thin, the engraving will need to be very small and may be difficult to see. Wedding bands made of alternative metals such as tungsten and titanium can usually be engraved, but the engraving is lighter than on gold or platinum rings. 

At Koser Jewelers, we offer dozens of engraving options, including various fonts and symbols. If you’re not sure if your idea is a possibility, stop in to see us or give us a call at 717-653-4941. We look forward to serving you!
