Many couples choose to have their bands engraved and it’s a particularly thoughtful touch for the man to have had the engagement ring engraved prior to the proposal! Some simply inscribe the date inside the band while others add a little flair by affirming their eternal love in one of the romance languages with expressions such as ‘Amore’, ‘Ti amo’ or ‘Je t’aime’.

An oval gemstone is an interesting choice in an engagement ring. This might be a single oval diamond, or perhaps the center stone in a three stone engagement ring.
For the couple looking for something a little different, the choice of stone presents the opportunity to bring some individuality to the ring. Traditional choices are diamonds and other precious gems such as sapphires and rubies, and these stones also come in a variety of unusual shades and hues making them an exciting choice. Sapphires, for instance, are commonly thought of as blue, but they are members of the same family as rubies and the stones can be found in many different colors. Pink and yellow sapphires are popular, however different shades of green, mauve and even clear make an interesting option.

For many people, the image of an engraved ring is a heavily decorated shank perhaps in a similar manner to antique rings. Modern laser engraving equipment, however, means that rings can be engraved in a variety of places and styles.
The shanks of rings remain popular for engraving, though it is possible to engrave other areas of the ring and this can present some interesting options. It is possible to engrave the edges of rings with patterns, textures or even words.
An engraved oval engagement ring not only has a special, unique look to it, but the private sentiment engraved within it is a loving secret shared by the couple it binds together, making it a superb choice for couples interested in unique and highly symbolic rings.
