What is Laser Engraving?

As the name suggests, the use of a laser is involved with this style of engraving. In reality, a laser does not actually engrave your ring, as engraving involves etching or carving. A laser actually burns your personal message on to the surface of the ring. So, the correct term should be "laser marking", but most people refer to it as laser engraving and the name has stuck. Laser engraving can be done on any metal as well. Many fonts and symbols are available. If you would like something custom laser engraved on to your ring, chances are we can do it. Please contact us with your request and we will provide you a quote. To read more about laser engraving please visit Wikipedia.

Where should my engraving be on my ring?

Usually, customers engrave on the inside of the ring. That means it is the part of the ring touching you finger when you are wearing it. This way others can't see your special message unless you take the ring off. However, some people want the world to see their engraving. In this case, they choose to have their engraving done on the outside of the ring. There is no right or wrong place to engrave your ring. It all comes down to personal preference, and we are proud to be able to offer you the option that suits you best.

Will the Engraving Scratch off?

The durability of an engraving done on the outside of the ring depends on the durability of the metal itself. On softer metals, like gold, the ring will get scratched and the engraving will wear away over time, but on hard metals like tungsten, the engraving will not wear away as it is very difficult to scratch the ring. Engravings on the inside of the ring will not wear away no matter what metal you choose, as long as you wear the ring on your finger. For the engraving to wear away, that would mean your skin is tougher than the metal, which is not possible.

What's the Cost for Engraving?

The engraving fee is $25.00. This includes up to 30 characters or symbols, including spaces. Engravings up to 30 characters are usually enough for most people's personal messages. We can accommodate engravings with more than 30 characters at $1.00 per character. Please contact us if you wish to go above 30 characters. If you would like both inside and outside engravings this would be charged as two separate engravings. We can also engrave in any font you see in Microsoft Word at no extra cost.
