Engraved Rings
Engraved rings undergo a special process where anything you wish can be permanently inscribed. This takes custom jewellery to the next level and creates beautiful designs to fit your style.
Having initials, a note, or a special date on your ring forever is a meaningful way to hold close the memories or people you love. Rings can either be engraved on the inside or outside and make for a perfect gift.
Even though rings are a popular choice, you can also purchase engraved bracelets or necklaces like the Engraved Personalised Bar Necklace we have here at Camile & Stone.
Getting an engraved ring can be exciting but also daunting. You must consider the band size, durability, and material. Many personalisation options, including sterling silver, gold, and rose gold, ensure you can wear it for many years.
At Camile & Stone, we know how important jewellery is, especially engraved pieces. We capture that special feeling by listening to your needs and using our expertise to create a beautiful ring built to last.

You can engrave whatever you like onto a ring; there are no rules when it comes to sentiment. Whether it be the coordinates of a first date, the names of a loved one, or a favourite quote, the decision is yours.
Typically, people choose to have the day of a special occasion such as a wedding or an anniversary. It can be engraved as long as it fits on the band whilst remaining legible.
Rings made of precious metals such as silver and gold are ideal for engraving as they are durable enough for the process. However, brass, zinc, and steel are too soft.
Other than material, factors such as the band's size and the ring's design can make engraving difficult. When these are overlooked, the ring loses integrity and snaps or causes a messy engraving, despite how experienced the jeweller is.
Engraving a long string of text rather than a time or date, for example, will cost more and likely leave you with an illegible, weak ring. For best results, stick to simple yet unique ideas.
Rings can be bought already engraved. These tend to be inclusive designs such as a first name, initial, or title. They are typically cheaper but aren't as personal.
On the other hand, if the ring has no engraving on it, it's still possible If the material, size, and design are suitable, you can take the ring to an experienced jeweller to get the job done.
In addition, the condition of the ring plays a big part in engraving. For example, an old heirloom passed down through generations may not be strong enough to withstand an engraving, even if made from a precious metal.
Factors such as the inscription design, material, and the chosen professional influence the cost.
Selecting a trustworthy jeweller for your ring will impact not only the cost but also the quality of the engraving and the warranty. If the engraving does not turn out as you hoped, the offer of compensation or free adjustments is great for peace of mind.
To inquire about the cost, contact us at Camile & Stone. When your order is ready, we will provide a personalised engraving within 4 to 7 business days.
If the ring was suitable to be engraved in the first place, there is no reason it will not last. The act of engraving itself is permanent. Either by hand, machine, or laser, engraving consists of your unique design being etched into the material.
Proper care of your engraved ring will ensure it looks its best in the long term. Our site has extensive information on how to care for your jewellery. If it becomes old and worn down, all it needs is a professional clean. When not wearing your ring, keep it somewhere safe, like on a gorgeous Rose Quartz ring stand.
The skill of the jeweller, combined with the aftercare, plays a part in how long your engraved ring will last.
It's difficult to resize an engraved ring - but in some cases, it's possible.
Small engravings on the inside of the band will have a better chance of surviving a resize. This is because the outside of the ring is warped during the process.
Additionally, rings made of precious metals like gold or sterling silver are easier to resize as they are more malleable. If you only need a minor adjustment, then it's definitely an option. Or, to make things much easier, go for an open ring instead!
If you have found the resizing process has affected the engraving, you can get it redone or touched up to look how it did originally.
For a replacement, order a unique piece from our online store today. Our collection includes a range of customisable rings on sale.
If, in the unfortunate chance, your ring is not suitable for engraving, there are other options available. It can be slipped onto a chain to create a necklace or resized with comfortable ring inserts.
