100 Meaningful Engraving Ideas for Your Wedding Rings

When it comes to wedding rings, making that piece you’ll wear forever even more significant is an easy task – just add an engraving! And then the question becomes, what do you engrave on a piece of jewellery that holds so much significance? Never fear, because we’ve come up with 100 ideas (that won’t make you cringe) along with plenty of inspiration to make that decision an easy one for you.

Personal Wedding Ring Engraving Ideas

While we have plenty of fun ideas for you below (over 100 in fact), there is nothing quite like something completely personal to you as a wedding ring engraving choice.

Names & Initials

This option is a classic and probably the most common. Your names and initials are an easy way to add a sentimental touch. Oh, and of course, don’t forget your nicknames for one another!

Significant Dates

Obviously, your wedding date (in the format 00/00/0000 or 00.00.0000) is an obvious one, but you could also choose the date on which you met, when you got engaged, or a very special significant date that means something to you both.

Meaningful Words and Quotes

What words are significant to you? A sweet saying you repeat to one another, a line from your vows, a lyric from a song you both adore or are using for your wedding.

Special Locations

Adding a special location to your rings is a meaningful idea. Consider engraving the coordinates of where you met, had your first date, got engaged, shared your first kiss, or even the place you’re getting married. A street address, city name, or specific location (e.g. Hyde Park) that holds a romantic memory can make for a sentimental inscription.

Symbolic Imagery

Words aren’t your only option nowadays. Have you considered engraving a symbolic image? The infinity symbol is a popular choice, representing your endless love. Or pick an icon, emoji, or design motif that has unique significance to you as a couple – like a coffee cup for café dates, a bicycle for your shared love of cycling, or your favourite constellation. You can even engrave your beloved’s fingerprint or replicate your heartbeat pattern for an ultra-personal touch.
