Rings Engraved in Your Handwriting!

Wedding rings and wedding bands are offering much more variety these days.  Gone are the days of the predictable diamond engagement ring with either a plain band or a diamond band.  Shoppers these days tend to be looking for unique options.

The most unique option we can find is to have your band engraved in your own handwriting!  What a great way to include a special message and increase the sentimental value by putting that message in your handwriting.  The inside and outside of the bands can be engraved. 

By writing out your handwritten message, it can then be copied to the ring to look exactly the same.  What a great way to send a personalized message to your loved one. 

A variety of metals can be handwritten engraved including white and yellow gold, platinum, titanium and stainless steel. Rings can be engraved on the inside for a secret message, on the outside to show a little love note, or both. Rings can often accommodate at least 40 characters so there is room for a favorite quote or saying.

The XOE Ring Collections include a special line of rings that can be customized with handwritten engraving. It is made up of an inner ring and an outer ring that fit together. The inner ring seems to "float" weightlessly within the outer ring. When removed, they can be separated and then reunited. They can be mixed and matched with different metals for a truly custom look. With four different surfaces, it allows for four different engraving the spaces (the inside and outside of each ring). Prices start around $200.

For a truly unique wedding band, one engraved in your own handwriting is sure to be an original. Rings can often be purchased online simply by completing the engraving order form and scanning the image or mailing the sample to your jeweler. The fun part is deciding what to have inscribed in metal forever in your own handwriting!
