Partner or Spouse

Getting jewelry engraved for your romantic partner is a great way to show your affection in a way that stands the test of time. Engravings can include meaningful dates (such as anniversaries), quotes, initials, or something unique to your relationship.

Parent

To show appreciation and love for a parent, getting them an engraved piece of jewelry, such as a watch or necklace, can be a great gift. You may want to have a personal quote engraved or a message engraved in your handwriting. This thoughtful gift is something they are sure to cherish.

Friend

Finding the right gift for a friend can be challenging, even if you know them well. Giving them a piece of jewelry that not only appeals to them aesthetically but also means something special to them can be a great way to show your appreciation.

Our team is here to help you decide what ring inscription idea will best suit your intentions!

Short Engraving Quotes

When engraving a message on a piece of jewelry, you will usually find that space is limited, especially if you want to get a ring engraved. Some pieces – like bracelets, lockets, or watches – may offer more space for engraving messages, but if you want to be sure the entirety of your message will fit, opting for short engraving quotes is often a wise move.

Though short, these things to engrave on a ring or other piece can be powerful statements of encouragement, love, and faith. Popular messages engraved on jewelry include the following phrases for friends and significant others. 

For A Friend

Engraving a short, sweet message on a piece of jewelry for a friend can show how much you care for them and offer them reassurance and support even when you are apart. Some short messages you can get engraved for a friend include:

  • Be the change
  • Follow your heart
  • Fortune favors the bold
  • I believe in you
  • Have courage
  • Enjoy the journey
  • Life is better with you
  • My kindred spirit

For Your Significant Other

Whether you are dating, engaged, or married, getting a piece of jewelry engraved for your significant other is a charming way to provide a permanent reminder of your love. You might consider engraving a piece of jewelry with one of the following phrases:

  • You are my sunshine
  • My heart is in your hands
  • Love is friendship set on fire
  • You are my happy place
  • You have my heart
  • I’m yours
  • To the moon and back
  • I will always love you
  • You are my treasure
  • Je t’aime (I love you, French)
  • Amore mio (My love, Italian)
  • Myn genyst (My heart, Old German)

Wedding Band Engraving Ideas

Getting your wedding bands engraved presents an opportunity to personalize these rings and give you and your spouse something even more special to share. These romantic quotes can embody your love for one another and offer promises for the future. Some examples include:

  • God for me provided thee
  • Love endures all things
  • My one and only
  • My love, my life
  • Today, tomorrow, always
  • Love never fails
  • God above increase our love
  • Amor vincit omnia (Love conquers all, Latin)
  • Mizpah (May the Lord watch between you and me when we are absent from one another, Genesis 31:49, Hebrew)

You can also engrave your wedding date on the inside of your bands to commemorate your ceremony!

What To Engrave On Engagement Ring

Engagement ring engraving can make your proposal even more special. You can inscribe any number of meaningful things on the band of an engagement ring, including:

  • An anniversary (such as a first date)
  • Coordinates (where you met, for example)
  • Lyrics to a song you both love
  • Preferred pet names
  • Your favorite romantic quote

Watch Engraving Ideas

If you are giving a watch as a gift, getting it engraved can make the present more personal and meaningful. The jewelers at Jewelry By Designs can skillfully engrave your message so that the watch you have purchased will be perfect for your loved one. Some ideas for watch engravings include:

  • Our love will withstand the test of time
  • Time flies when I’m with you
  • The best is yet to come
  • Every day is a second chance
  • The future is yours
  • Vamonos (Let’s go, Spanish)
  • Carpe diem (Seize the day, Latin)

Engraving Family Jewelry

In addition to engraving wedding bands, our custom jewelry engraving services can also inscribe special messages on jewelry you’ve inherited or pieces you plan to give to family members. From personalized lockets to engraved watches, bracelets and pendants, an engraved piece of jewelry is an excellent way to show your love and appreciation for parents, grandparents, siblings, and friends.

Monogram Jewelry

Your options for engraving don’t just include quotes; you can also get jewelry monogrammed with your own or your recipient’s initials. Monogram jewelry and watches can be great, personalized gifts, especially for birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, or other celebrations.

Engraving Fonts For Jewelry

When deciding to engrave jewelry, you not only need to choose what you want engraved but also how you want it to look, specifically in regards to the font used. The main consideration you make will be between script or block text. Block fonts are often easy to read with sharp, clean lettering, while script fonts are more elegant and are especially popular for romantic inscriptions.

You can also get custom handwriting engravings for a more personalized, sentimental touch.

Frequently Asked Questions About Jewelry Engraving Services

The cost of a jewelry engraving largely depends on the type of engraving you want to have done. Jewelry By Designs offers mechanical engraving for certain pieces, which starts at $25. Laser engraving, which is often more precise and durable, starts at $75.

We have the tools and expertise to engrave a wide variety of pieces, such as the following:

  • Rings (including wedding bands and engagement rings)
  • Bracelets
  • Pendants or necklaces
  • Lockets
  • Charms
  • Watches
  • Estate jewelry
  • And more!

We’ve also engraved other items, like gold plaques and silverware, so if you aren’t sure that we can help with your specific request, just ask!

Laser engraving uses a high-powered laser to efficiently melt designated spots on a piece of jewelry, resulting in smooth, durable marks.

There is no right or wrong answer to this question, as each engraving tends to hold personal value and meaning to the individuals purchasing and receiving the piece. Popular engraving options include meaningful dates, significant names or initials, coordinates, or special quotes and messages.

The exact number of characters that will fit on a ring engraving may vary slightly depending on the circumference of the ring. However, on average, you can expect a ring engraving to fit up to 30 characters, including letters, numbers, and spaces.

A coordinate engraving features geographic coordinates that are significant to the buyer and/or wearer of a piece of jewelry. Coordinates may depict the location of a birth, first date, engagement, wedding, or another meaningful event.

In certain cases, a jeweler can resize an engraved ring, but this process is largely circumstantial. A ring with engraving can be resized if:

  • The location of the engraving is behind a stone, which would not be impacted by the resizing process
  • There is a sufficient amount of blank space on the band where a jeweler can cut
  • The ring does not need to be significantly sized down, as this process requires the removal of metal which can eat into the engraved portion of the ring if it needs to go down several sizes

In many cases, a jeweler can polish off the engraving prior to resizing the ring and, for an additional fee, can re-engrave the piece once it has been properly sized.

Over time and with continuous wear, the engraving on your ring may rub off and fade. You can get the inscription re-engraved if this occurs, so contact a jeweler if you want to improve the legibility of your ring engraving.
