HOW TO PERSONALIZE YOUR RING

Below are some examples of how to personalize a unique engagement ring or wedding band.

Birthstones

Chinese Characters

On the right is a one-of-a-kind wedding band with Chinese characters on the inside of the ring.  Dragonflies and stars were added to the outside as a custom design.

You may browse through our collection of precious metal wedding bands with etched Chinese characters.

Constellations & Astrological Signs

Family Crests

Tattoo-Inspired Imagery

Musical Symbols

f-hole-ring.jpgf-hole.JPGShown to the right is another musical ring.  An f-hole, seen in violins and guitars, repeats around a mokume gane band with diamonds.

Words


block.jpgscript.jpgword-ring.jpgThe ways to customize jewelry with words and phrases are endless.  We offer inscriptions for the inside of our handcrafted rings in a block or script font.  On the left you can significant dates inscribed in mokume wedding bands.  Space permitting, your ring can have a poetic phrase.

Text may serve as the focus of the ring, such as in the brushed finish wedding band on the right.  A Latin phrase with darkened recesses has a dramatic impact.  Also notice how this particular ring has been set with birthstones inside for that extra personal touch.  View other Word Wedding Rings here.

carved_letters.jpgcarved_letters_2.jpgYou may also have initials handcrafted as a sculptural part of the band.  The letters in the rings shown are stylized to match the sculptural tendrils in the Delicate Leaf Diamond Engagement Ring.

Looking for text that is even more unique to you?  Consider having your own handwriting in the ring!
I received the ring this morning. Just wanted to say that I am extremely pleased with the result. I will definitely recommend your business to my friends. Thanks very much for a painless buying experience.
