Never forget your wedding anniversary with a laser engraved wedding date.
Aside from the aesthetics of a bold engraving on the exterior of a wedding ring, people frequently forget just how beneficial information can be, when engraved onto the outside, or inside of a wedding band. For many men (myself included!) despite every good intention, those “need-to-remember” dates just stay buried too deeply in the grey matter (sure, I can remember my anniversary – it just takes a few minutes to recall the information.) Well, excuses over, and getting back to the subject in hand, an engraved wedding date, is romantic, adds a personal touch to the ring, and can be discreetly lasered to the inner surface of any ring, in your chosen font. Proving more popular over the last few years – the combination of Roman Numerals and diamonds engraved into the rings.
How are diamonds added alongside Roman Numerals?
First and foremost we usually insist on using one of our medium weight wedding rings (we have already featured the various plain wedding ring styles. Less expensive alternatives, or creating such rings on a shoe-string normally work against you. The wedding rings need to be deep enough to accommodate the diamond. Too thin or light in weight, and the blank wedding ring will be unsuitable. Even if you have a limited budget, metals such as 500 Palladium and 950 Palladium enable a deeper profile whilst keeping the ring at a very reasonable price. The laser engraving is applied firstly. (Don’t worry if you don’t know what the Roman Numeral equivalent is for your date – just supply us with the right date and we’ll do the rest.) Secondly a separator is added between date groups as we would do in the no-diamond equivalent design. Once engraved, our diamond setter flush sets the small diamond (1.1 – 1.5mm as a size guide) into the ring, and finally the engraved wedding ring is polished / finished.
So, even if you have an engraved date tucked away discreetly on the inner surface of the ring, once a year, you will remain in her good books!
