What Should You Engrave on Your Wedding Ring？

Wedding rings are more than jewelry — they are a lifelong symbol of love and commitment. While styles have changed over time, the meaning of the wedding ring has always stayed the same. One of the most personal touches you can add to your ring is an engraving.

Engraving your wedding ring transforms it from a beautiful piece into something truly unique and yours. It can capture a moment, a promise, or even a shared secret. Because most engravings are permanent, choosing the right words or symbols matters. If you are unsure what to engrave, here are some meaningful ideas to inspire you.

Romantic Phrases

Romantic phrases are short, sweet, and timeless. Choose something you often say to your partner, a phrase that perfectly sums up your relationship, or even one in French, Italian, or Latin for an extra touch of charm.

Examples include:
I love you
Forever yours
My soulmate
To the moon and back
Written in the stars
Je t’aime
Semper fidelis

Names, Initials, and Dates

The simplest engravings are often the most sentimental. Many couples choose to engrave names, initials, or important dates. These are personal, meaningful, and always relevant.

Ideas include:
Initials with a heart or ampersand
Pet names or nicknames
Wedding date or engagement date
Combination of names and dates

Bible Verses

For couples who want to express their faith, a short Bible verse about love adds depth and meaning.

Popular verses include:
1 Corinthians 16:14 – Do everything in love
1 Corinthians 13:13 – Faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love
Song of Solomon 2:16 – I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine
1 Peter 4:8 – Above all, love each other deeply

Other Sentimental Ideas

Not every engraving has to be traditional. Some couples prefer a more playful or unique approach.

You can engrave:
Lyrics from your first dance song
A phrase from your favorite song
An inside joke only the two of you understand

Symbols and Images

Sometimes words are not enough. Engraving a simple symbol or image can carry great meaning.

Popular choices include:
A heart symbol to represent love
An infinity sign to symbolize forever
A custom symbol meaningful only to you
