Buying Personalized Rings For Holiday And Every Day Gifts

Personalized rings have been around since Marc Anthony gave one to Cleopatra declaring his undying love

. Variations have occurred throughout the ages, but in general, personalized rings can show love and devotion, a token of sentimentality, or a remembrance of a lost loved one. These are a big fashion statement for this upcoming holiday season, and a great gift choice all year long.

Couples getting married frequently have their wedding bands engraved with initials and wedding date and loving sentiments of the moment. These rings can be elaborately decorated with precious gems and hand scrolling, or they can be simple bands with plain text on the inside.

Pope John Paul II allegedly was presented a ring by his mother that had the entire Lord's Prayer engraved into it. Hugh Heffner, not really a big jewelry fanatic, did however secretly design a personalized ring for himself that had nothing more than the measurements of his favorite Playmates.

Personalization is limited only by one's imagination and the size of the ring vs. The amount of the text. However, before giving up, you can always pay top dollar for a world class craftsman to engrave just about anything anywhere.

A new, very affordable, method of getting a personalized ring is to visit one of the new kiosks arriving into large malls. These kiosks have a type of robotic machine similar to the ones used to make pet tags. You put your ring inside, secure it, and use the keypad to choose your style. Then, just type what you want.

Some metals are easier to engrave on, however, the softer metals, such as gold, tend to wear out after a few years and it's not only easy to have the process redone without damaging the surface of the ring. For guaranteed longevity you may want to choose silver or platinum if the ring will be worn daily.

Other popular materials that people like to have engraved are coral or jade and occasionally wood.
