 How to Engrave Your Ring

 Before you choose to engrave your ring, there are some important factors to consider. This is especially true when dealing with a piece of jewelry as precious as a ring. Use these tips to decide if engraving will work for you.

 Be Sure to Have Engravable Rings

 Don't choose an engraving unless you are sure that the ring is able to be engraved. Your jeweler can tell you if the metal is strong enough to engrave and if there is enough space on the ring for your engraving. Before selecting a ring, if you are certain that you will have it engraved, you should discuss with your jeweler the best rings to use for engraving.

 Even the hardest metals, such as tungsten, and the softest metals like gold, can be engraved with modern technology. Remember that engraving can be difficult to read, especially when it is on highly reflective metals like silver.

 Decide Your Budget

 Fine jewelry is made with the highest quality materials and with great care. This is why they are expensive. If you choose to purchase an heirloom ring, customizing it will cost extra. Before you decide on an inscription, it's important to ask "How much will it cost?" The engraving fees vary from one place to another and can even be included as part of the price of a custom designed ring, or if the ring is purchased directly from the jeweler. If your jeweler offers a ring-engraving service, ask what's included in the price and what it includes. Engraving is usually a small charge ($50-100), compared to the price of the ring.
