In the rich history of wedding traditions, there are few gestures that are as profound and romantic as the practice of engraving wedding rings. Beyond the unmistakable shine and shimmer of the metal and the inset gemstone, the act of engraving adds a deeply personal touch to the wedding band that endures the test of time. In Singapore, engraving your wedding ring is an especially popular option that has gained traction in recent years. Many couples do it as a sign of their love for and commitment to each other.
Why Should I Engrave My Wedding Ring?
Engraving meaningful dates, words, phrases, or symbols on the surface of the wedding ring turns a simple wedding band into a uniquely personal tapestry of love, commitment, and shared dreams. This creates a reminder of a couple’s most special day, capturing the essence of their relationship. As time passes, the engraving remains a tangible expression of the couple’s love for one another. These wedding bands effectively become a bridge that connects a couple’s past, present, and future love story.
What Are Some Popular Engraving Ideas?
One popular engraving idea is the couples’ initials and dates. Sometimes this can represent the day they first met, the day they confessed their love, the date of the proposal, or even the future date of their wedding. Most commonly, couples engrave their names together or the date of the proposal on their rings. The date can be any date, and is typically a day that holds special significance to the couple. That way, one look at the wedding ring floods the mind with memories of that special day.
Coordinates to a location significant to the couple can also be used as a more subtle engraving. This can be the location the couple met, where the proposal took place, or even the location of the wedding. Just with special dates, special coordinates can serve as a reminder of an important memory to the couple.
Here are several engraving phrases for your wedding bands:
- Forever Yours

- Better Half Found

Where Can I Get Engraved Wedding Rings?
At Michael Trio, the laser engraving of a wedding ring only costs an additional SGD37. This can be done as you purchase a wedding band from Michael Trio.
When you order a wedding band on the Michael Trio website, you can choose to add an engraving as you order. To do this, you simply select the “YES” option under “ENGRAVING.”
Once you do this, a pop-up prompt will appear, allowing you to choose the typeface you like and specifying your engraving preferences, up to a maximum of 15 characters. There are a total of five font selections:
- Two cursive fonts, Harrington and Lauren Script Regular,
- Two serif fonts, Times New Roman and Monotype Corsiva
- One sans serif font, Tunga.
Cursive fonts can add a flowery and sentimental feel to your wedding band, whereas serif fonts are easy to read and timeless. Sans serif fonts can lend a more minimalist and casual vibe to a wedding ring.
There is also an option to include a heart or an infinity symbol. Once you are done, you can proceed as normal in ordering your wedding ring. You can specify your ring size, any additional directions under Remarks, and then either add it to your cart or make an appointment where you can choose our stores in Singapore.
Quick Tips for Engraving Your Wedding Rings
When getting your wedding rings engraved, there’s a handful of things you need to remember to make sure you’re getting both the most value for your money and an engraving you’re happy with:
- Take note of space limitations. There’s only so much space you can use on a wedding band, so make sure your text fits comfortably. Lengthy messages may appear cramped or hard to read.
- Consider placement. You can have your engraving on the inside or the outside of the ring. Think about your ring’s style and design to determine the best place for your engraving.
- Choose an appropriate font and font size. Choose a typeface and a size that works well with your ring’s design while still being easy to read. Elegant and timeless fonts usually work well with engravings. With serif and sans serif fonts, you can capitalise all letters for increased readability. With cursive or script fonts, however, it may become difficult to read, because capital letters in cursive aren’t designed to be used together.
