Tradition engraved in time
The use of wedding rings dates back to ancient Egypt and was exclusively for women as a symbol of perfect love with their partner. With the passing of the years, we reach the Renaissance, a stage in history in which it seems that the first inscriptions were engraved: first on the outside of the wedding ring and then on the inside, when what was expressed was a private matter.
What can you engrave on your engagement ring?
The engagement ring is a symbol used at a wedding celebration to honor the union of the bride and groom. Traditionally, the name of the bride and groom and the date of the wedding are engraved on the wedding rings. It is customary that the name of your partner is engraved on your engagement ring and vice versa; although it is also possible to engrave only the initials of both names. The engraving is usually done on the inside of the engagement ring.
However, some couples prefer to give a unique and personal style to all the details of the engagement ring. In this complete guide to design your engagement ring, we will give you examples of original and creative designs that you should not miss.
The design, material, and thickness of the engagement ring are important factors that will determine the number of words that can be engraved. In Planderful we will tell you what you should consider.

Planderful ideas for engraving your engagement ring
- Engrave your vows
Why not write a version of your vows or a brief expression of your love on the engagement ring? It could be something very simple like "I love you" or simple words like "Forever" or "Eternally". You could even engrave the word "Soulmates" to express that you have found your soulmate. You should choose a phrase or word that you feel best sums up your love.
- Romantic language
If you prefer a more romantic and unique concept for your engagement ring consider an engraving in a different language. The most popular choices are French, Italian, and Latin, as they are some of the most romantic languages. Choose something as simple as "My love" or we also suggest the following popular phrases:
In French - "Pour tous jours" (For every day).
In Latin - "Semper amemus" (Let us always love each other)
In Italian - "Il mio cuore è tuo per sempre" (My heart is yours forever)

- A meaningful symbol
We've all heard the saying "A picture is worth a thousand words" and this may be the case for your engagement ring. If you want a visual symbol, you can engrave something simple like a heart or choose an icon that represents a mutual symbol that you both know and that gives you complicity.
For nature lovers, engrave the outline of a tree on your wedding ring, or if you and "your other half" share a strong bond with a pet, how about a small engraving of it? These are more unusual versions, but the symbols are the perfect way to represent your love for each other.
- Engrave how you met
How you met, perhaps you met at a party or your first date was going to the movies? Remember the place where you first met by engraving a phrase that links to that special moment. It can be a motto or a phrase from that day. It will be a reminder of where it all started and how far you have come since then, ideal to be immortalized in the engagement ring.
- Handwriting
You can engrave your partner's name with their handwriting, and vice versa, on the engagement ring. This is a popular and original take on the tradition of engraving names. Technology has made it very easy for jewelers to create custom designs, so engraving your handwriting on a ring is easier than ever.
- Fingerprint Engraving
This is one of the most creative engraving ideas. Engraving your partner's fingerprint on your engagement ring is a way for you to be together in every moment. This gesture is very special because we all have unique fingerprints, so it is a special way of bonding.
To get your partner's fingerprint you must use ink and paper. It is recommended to take a copy of the ring finger of the left hand. You should then send this copy to the engraving shop or jewelry store. Keep in mind that, logically, the entire fingerprint does not fit in an engagement ring, only a fragment is engraved, as an abstract piece.
