The inhabitants of Europe as early as the Middle Ages fell in love with the inscriptions on the rings worn by the Egyptians, and the tradition took root. In the modern world engraving on gold, silver, platinum rings is carried out very often, because this method allows making jewelry individual, symbolic, original. Engraving helps make the rings personal, since more often than not the inscriptions contain personal information. This is the date of birth, dating or other important event, and secret confessions, and names and phrases with a deep philosophical meaning.

Engraving Techniques
Often engraving is performed inside the ring, because it is practical and convenient. This approach allows you to create an intimate atmosphere, because the inscription or drawing is not visible to anyone, except the owner of the decoration. The cost of such a service as engraving on rings depends on the complexity of the inscription, the size of the phrase, and the way it is performed. In short, the engraving can be deepened and embossed. The first way is that signs or symbols are cut out on the surface of the decoration or on its inner side with a special tool. The second way is more complicated, since the master not only cuts out the desired inscription, but also removes an extra layer of metal between the symbols. Professional engravers can make characters stand-alone, but this technique is used exclusively for convex hollow jewelry.

There are differences in the technique of inscribing the rings. When hand engraving is used, a thin cutter is used, and with a diamond engraving, a tool with diamond spraying is used at the pointed end. Due to its use, stylistic variants of engraving on rings considerably expand, as the inscriptions can be made large, small, deepened, and superficial. In addition, engraving is characterized by an incredible brilliance. The third method is laser engraving, which is performed both outside the ring and inside. Its characteristic feature is the specific color of the inscription. Because of the burning of the upper layer of metal, it acquires a dark gray and even black shade . If you decide to purchase an ornament with laser engraving, remember that it will not be possible to change the ring size any more.

If this engraving on the ring is your favorite or favorite, then often the inscription is made in a foreign language. Often resorted to the winged expressions and aphorisms, revealing the essence of human existence.
But not always engraving is a set of symbols. Patterns and pictures on rings are no less popular. For example, an image of a star, if a loved one calls a girl an asterisk, or a hare, if for her she is Zaya. Very original look rings, consisting of two parts. Engraving is performed on the thin inner ring, and the second, wider, closes it. You can see the inscription if you move apart the halves of the ring in different directions.
Planning to perform engraving on the decoration, carefully consider the inscription and its meaning, because the rings made of precious metals are not cheap, as well as the service of their application.
