How to Create Your Own Ring with Engravings Inside and Out

Engraving rings is a popular trend in jewelry for everything from friendship rings to engagement rings and wedding bands. Many couples engrave their names, wedding dates, a word, symbol or phrase that memorializes that special occasion.

Engraving the ring yourself can be a very complicated and expensive process that requires not only considerable skill but also an engraving machine. Having a jeweler do the engraving for you is an easier option.
