Engraving on wedding rings

Engraving on wedding rings has become very fashionable. This allows you to make even the simplest ring unique. In addition, this is how the newlyweds leave a piece of their soul on their wedding decorations, which makes the symbol of love and fidelity unique.

A wedding ring is not just an accessory. From time immemorial, it was endowed with sacred properties. In shape, the ring has no beginning or end, like the love of two people who decided to seal their union before the law and God.

This is a talisman that preserves family well-being. This is also a reminder of the vows that the newlyweds made on the first day of their life together. Therefore, before sending their wedding rings to the master, the newlyweds ask themselves the question, is it possible to do engraving at all?

If we are guided by ancient beliefs, then it is not recommended to put any inscriptions on the product. The engagement ring should be as simple as possible so that the subsequent family life is smooth.

According to Slavic traditions, you cannot give your wedding jewelry to anyone, including a jewelry master. Otherwise, it is better to give the item to the engraver after the wedding ceremony.

It is also worth considering that engraving is not always practical. Wedding rings have been worn for years. During this time, fingers can lose weight or gain weight, which is why many have to give their wedding jewelry for rework. Then the inscription on the product may interfere with work or deteriorate.

Engraving can be done on wedding rings both outside and inside. Information available to prying eyes is left on the outer surface. On the inside, you can put more intimate information, for example, affectionate names. It makes sense to put the phrase on the inside of the piece if it is split in half for the male and female ring. In addition, the inscription inside will be less susceptible to unfavorable factors and will last longer.

The most versatile way to label products. Only the living hand of the master can fulfill any whims of customers in relation to the engraving font. The specialist is able to supplement the inscription with various curls and monograms.

Handicraft is generally more valuable than mechanical work. To engrave wedding rings, you need to find a highly skilled, talented engraver.

A variation of the manual method of applying images is grave engraving. She got this name due to a special tool - a grater. This method ranks first in the complexity of drawing images. Smooth engraving requires a high-class jeweler's skill.

This method is widely used in engraving because it has its own special advantages:

• does not require the use of other techniques for decorating the product (for example, the use of paints or chemicals);
• the applied inscription retains its appearance for a long time - it does not wear off and does not fade;
• you can apply an ornament, text or numbers of any complexity;
• the facets of inscriptions or drawings obtained with the diamond engraving method reflect light in their own way, which allows spouses to have unique shiny rings.

When a drawing is applied with a special diamond tool, microscopic tetrahedral pits form on the surface of the metal. They refract light in a special way, which gives the jewelry a peculiar shine, inherent exclusively in jewelry with this processing method.

The diamond engraving method has its own requirements for decoration. The ring should be perfectly flat and have a glossy finish.

A widespread method, since it allows you to apply inscriptions of any complexity to various types of metals. Laser engraving equipment is affordable and easy to use.

The undoubted advantage of this method is that it can be used to display the smallest details. Laser engraving generally guarantees a permanent image.

To apply a unique image to the wedding ring, you can resort to photo engraving. With its help, the effect of a black and white image is achieved, since due to the possibility of changing the depth of the line during the engraving process, the equipment is capable of transmitting halftones.

This method is not widely used in jewelry. Sometimes it makes no sense to apply such small elements in the image to a small jewel.

It can be difficult for future spouses to choose the optimal inscription for the ring. Engraving wedding jewelry is a very important step. No text can no longer be erased without damaging the product. But a competently and carefully thought out phrase can always cheer up and save the situation even after the most violent quarrels, recalling romantic feelings at the beginning of a relationship.

Most often, for the bride and groom, their names or wedding date are engraved on the rings. It is also a popular idea when half of an expression is applied to paired jewelry. You can use ready-made examples of phrases applied to wedding rings.

Most often, future spouses engrave their initials, names, wedding or first date. Due to the growing popularity of social networks, young people choose their nicknames as their inscriptions. The latter idea will appeal to those couples who met via the Internet.

Lovers of the classics can also choose the traditional phrase "I love you" for engraving. Also, one of the most common phrases for wedding rings is "Together forever."

The words can be supplemented by engraving with the “infinity” sign in the form of a horizontal figure of eight. If it's hard to come up with an inscription on your own, then the engraver will surely have samples of his work.

If the newlyweds wish to have more unusual inscriptions for their wedding rings, then you can pick up a quote from the book. It's great if the future husband and wife met in an unusual place, say, in a cafe or in another city. Then the name of the place where the first meeting took place is perfect for perpetuating with engraving.

You can also choose a quote from a movie or a line from your favorite song. The original solution will be the mobile phone number on the ring. In general, everything related to an acquaintance, a first date or just pleasant emotions can be chosen for engraving. Perhaps this will be the name of the place where the couple first kissed. Such an inscription will always cheer you up, reminding you of romantic feelings.

Often couples order an inscription in English from engravers. This is not only an original way to capture pleasant words on wedding decorations. It happens that phrases in English sound shorter than their counterparts in Russian.

The most popular phrase is I love you, which even those who do not know English can easily translate. This is a vivid example when a similar phrase is shorter than in Russian. At the same time, it sounds beautiful, but the meaning remains.

Traditional English love phrases are My hearts is yours forever, Only you, Crazy for you. Possible option Together forever (Together forever) or a phrase with a similar meaning For always and forever (Forever and forever).

For wedding rings, you can choose the phrases Forever and ever or God joined us as an engraving.

Latin phrases for wedding decorations have become popular. Thus, it is symbolic to depict on wedding rings, symbolizing eternal love, a phrase in an eternal language.

One Latin word can replace a longer Russian phrase, while having an equally deep meaning:

• Semel, translated as "Once and for all";
• Infinitum, in Russian means "To infinity."
• Fatum, translated from Latin - "Fate";

The ring can accommodate a longer expression. The popular phrase is Ad finem saeculorum. In the Russian-language version, it has almost the same length, and it translates as "Until the end of time." A very beautiful expression in Latin is Semper in animo meo. In our opinion, it will sound like "Forever in my heart."

It happens that a very short phrase, for example, "Only you", in Latin sounds like Noc solum observabis ut. It is quite long, which makes the letters on the ring smaller and the cost of the engraving more expensive. However, newlyweds in this case prioritize beauty and symbolism.

There are some pretty pretty phrases in French. They are both original and romantic:

• Je t`aime. At the same time, this is a line from a popular love song performed by Lara Fabian. Means "I love you".
• Por tous jour.It corresponds to the inscriptions in Russian "For all ages" and "For all seasons."
• Fortiter ac firmiter. In the Russian-language version, these words mean "Strong and strong."

An interesting solution would be an engraving in the form of a quote from your favorite movie or a line from a romantic song. It takes a lot of time just to find a suitable phrase from a movie. After all, it should be short, and at the same time - capacious.

• "All that is special about me ... is you." From the movie "Great Expectations".
• "There is no price for the feeling of love - only one life ...". Rock opera "Juno and Avos".

It will be a little easier to choose a line from a musical composition about love for engraving. It will be symbolic to immortalize a line from the song of the first wedding dance. Perhaps the couple has a song of their own that they don't want to talk about. Then engraving with the words from this composition on the inside of the ring is perfect.

If the quote is long enough, then it can be divided. Engrave the first part of the phrase on a woman's jewelry, and the second on a man's. This idea works great for paired rings.

The cost of engraving jewelry is proportional to the length of the phrase. Typically, the exact amount depends on the number of letters. The price of a simple inscription on a smooth ring will average 1000 rubles. The price can vary depending on the complexity of the font, the material and the design of the jewelry. Engraving letters on jewelry with a stone is much more difficult. This increases the cost of the master's work.

It also depends on the execution technique. Future spouses will have to pay more for manual work performed with a diamond tool or a graver than for an inscription made with a laser.

Beautiful engraving will make the jewelry unique. However, not all craftsmen are conscientious about their work. In order to avoid an unpleasant surprise before the wedding in the form of damaged expensive jewelry, it is better to spend a few days looking for a worthy engraver.
