If you've ever looked closely at your grandmother's or great-grandmother's wedding ring, you might find something you've never seen before: an inscription. It's something past generations did as a romantic and meaningful gesture to the one they loved.
Many times, engagement rings weren't affordable, so a gold wedding band was truly the only symbol of love and commitment. They made the most of it by having an inscription engraved on the inside of the ring. Along with the wedding date might be phrases such as "Forever yours," "Only You," "All my love," and "You have my heart," along with their initials or first names.
I think this idea is ready for a comeback. Engraving can be done on many types of wedding bands, both on the inside and outside. It can be very cost-effective, too. You can take a somewhat plain, ordinary wedding band (gold or silver) and turn it into a unique, one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry that will be treasured for years to come. There are jewelers who specialize in engraving that can help design the inscription to suit the couple.
I can't think of anything more romantic than to give your true love an engraved "love note", he or she will wear and treasure always. Think about it. When your grandchildren ask about it the inscription (they will), you'll have a great love story to pass down to future generations.
***When you select your wedding rings ask your jeweler about inscribing them.***
