Ever since the dawn of jewelry, people have been figuring out how to make it more personal. Birth stones, favorite colors, and sentimental engravings inside have provided the industry with a multitude of choices to provide personalized rings for just about any occasion. Jewelry of all types has been a traditional gift for birthdays and holidays, but this year personalized rings are making a big comeback.
Couples getting married frequently have their wedding bands engraved with initials and wedding date and loving sentiments of the moment. These rings can be elaborately decorated with precious gems and hand scrolling, or they can be simple bands with plain text on the inside.
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.
Rings can pretty much be engraved and personalized without limitations except in certain cases the amount of text may not have adequate room. Of course you could always hire the same craftsmen used by the Pope's mom!
One of the new trends is a new engraving kiosk now popping up in some malls. You can buy a ring there and then have it engraved right away using a typing mechanism attached to the robotic machine. You can choose the type, font, and create your wording. This is similar to buying and designing a dog tag for your pet at the local pet store.
Certain metals are more malleable than others and gold is one that tends to not hold engravings forever. It is soft, and it wears out with constant wear. Choose a more durable metal such as the now popular stainless steel.
Some other materials that can be engraved and can be expected to withstand some heavy use are jade or coral, and even wood.
