The Personal Touch: Ring Engraving

Ring Engraving - Close-up of engraved text inside a ring

One of the most intimate ways to personalise your wedding band is through engraving. Our Ring Engraving service allows you to inscribe a special message, date, or symbol on the inside of your ring, creating a hidden sentiment that's close to your heart.

Experience the joy of bespoke jewellery with our personalised ring hand engraving service. Create a one-of-a-kind keepsake or an unforgettable gift with the ability to inscribe a name, a date, or a meaningful phrase on our high-quality rings.

Here's how our engraving process works:

  1. Select your desired ring from our collection
  2. Add the engraving option to your basket
  3. Our team will contact you to discuss your engraving preferences
  4. We'll send you the ring for a fit check before engraving
  5. Once confirmed, we'll engrave your personalised message
  6. Your unique ring will be delivered in a presentation box with a complimentary silicone ring

Note: Engraving is currently available only on metal interior rings and is not offered for wood or Damascus rings.

Important Considerations for Engraved Rings
  • Character limit depends on ring size and style
  • Engraved rings cannot be exchanged or returned due to their custom nature
  • The engraving process may add an extra week to the fulfilment time
  • Our team will assist you in ensuring the perfect fit before engraving

Find Your Ring Size

How It Works:

Click to expand

  1. Measure Your Finger or an Existing Ring:

    • Finger Circumference: Use a strip of paper or a piece of string and wrap it around the base of your finger. Mark where the ends meet and measure the length against a ruler. Input this measurement into our tool.
    • Inner Diameter of an Existing Ring: If you have a ring that fits perfectly, simply measure its inner diameter (from edge to edge of the ring's inside circle). Enter this measurement for an accurate size conversion.

  2. Get Your Global Size: Our application instantly converts your measurement into the most commonly used international ring sizing standards - US, UK, French, German, Japanese, and Swiss. This feature makes our tool perfect for both local and international shoppers.

  3. Shop with Confidence: Once you have your ring size, explore our exquisite collection with the assurance that your chosen piece will fit as if it were made just for you.

Tips for Accurate Measurement:

Click to expand
  • Measure your finger at the end of the day when it is likely to be at its largest size.
  • Avoid measuring when you're cold, as fingers can be smaller.
  • If your knuckle is significantly larger than the base of your finger, measure both and select a size in between to ensure the ring will fit.
