Buying Personalized Rings For Holiday And Every Day Gifts
Personalized rings have been around since Marc Anthony gave one to Cleopatra declaring his undying love. Variations have occurred throughout the ages, but in general, personalized rings can show love and devotion, a token of sentimentality, or a remembrance of a lost loved one. These are a big fashion statement for this upcoming holiday season, and a great gift choice all year long.
Engaged couples will have wedding bands engraved for each other with everything from initials and a heart to lengthier more personal sentiments such as words from “their” song. They can also be intricately decorated with stones or other adornments to further personalize the ring.
It is said that the mother of Pope John Paul II gave him a ring that had the entire Lord’s Prayer printed on it. And it there is a popular Hollywood legend that Playboy founder Hugh Heffner had a ring specially made with the measurements of his favored Bunnies over the years.
Whatever your personal tastes or reasons for having a custom ring designed and /or engraved, it can most likely be done. Your only limits are of course size of the ring vs. The amount of script.
In some cases you can even have the engraving done on a special machine found in some mall kiosks. You’d purchase the ring, choose the style of the engraving, the placement of the engraving, and then type what you’d like to see engraved. The concept is similar to buying a pet tag for your dog at a local pet store.
Some metals are easier to engrave on, however, the softer metals, such as gold, tend to wear out after a few years and it’s not only easy to have the process redone without damaging the surface of the ring. For guaranteed longevity you may want to choose silver or platinum if the ring will be worn daily.
Other popular materials that people like to have engraved are coral or jade and occasionally wood.
