Thai Language Engravings
For couples with a connection to Thailand, consider a beautiful Thai script engraving:
Note: Thai script requires laser engraving due to its complexity. Confirm your jeweler can accommodate this before ordering.
Practical Engraving Tips
Character Limits
Most rings fit 20-30 characters depending on band width. Wider bands allow more text. Script fonts take more space than block letters.
Engraving Methods
Machine engraving: Quick, affordable, crisp letters
Hand engraving: More character, artisan quality, higher cost
Laser engraving: Most precise, required for complex designs/Thai script
Timing
Engraving typically adds 1-3 days to production. If you're working with a tight timeline, factor this in.
Cost in Thailand
Basic machine engraving: ฿300-800
Hand engraving: ฿1,500-3,000
Laser engraving: ฿500-1,500
Many jewelers include basic engraving free with purchase.
Can Be Changed Later
Engravings can be removed and re-done if needed (for example, if you want to add a wedding date). Some depth is lost each time.
Engraving Don'ts
Don't engrave thin bands — Bands under 2mm may be too delicate for engraving
Don't use long quotes — Keep it short; tiny text is hard to read and wears away
Don't forget to proofread — Triple-check spelling and dates before confirming
Don't engrave tension settings — Some settings don't have room inside for engraving
