Carved wedding rings are just like engagement rings that have been popping up almost as long as the wedding ring itself. The Art Deco and Art Nouveau eras favored carved wedding rings, as did a little later in the 1950’s and 60’s. Further back in time, the Celts carved their wedding rings, as did the Romans. Luckily for us, latest technologies, including computer aided equipment means that nowadays, the carving can be extremely fine and intricate.

What’s the Difference between Carved and Engraved Wedding Rings? Engraved wedding rings tend to have shallower embellishments that are more for texture or decoration. Carved wedding rings tend to have much deeper patterns, and these can often involve the actual shape of the band. In fact, the carvings are so deep that they can be considered to be dimensional, not just surface decoration.

Popular Carved Wedding Ring Designs. Celtic wedding rings are extremely popular designs for carving. Other styles include Art Nouveau and Victorian inspired designs featuring leaves, scrolls, flowers and other natural objects such as wheat. Geometric designs can be used to great effect to either replicate the much admired Art Deco style, or contemporary designs.

Carved wedding rings can look absolutely sensational when incorporating various colored metals such as two tone. Other ideas are to have the deeper parts of the ring tinted or inlaid with other colored metals.

Carved wedding rings can also incorporate precious gems and diamonds for even more visual impact.

Points To Consider When Selecting A Carved Wedding Ring. Carved wedding rings may well wear over the years. The deeper the engraving initially, the longer it will take the wear to show. Some carving may need to be reworked after many years of wear. Wedding rings that have carvings involving the entire band may wear more noticeably than a carved wedding ring that only features work on the front.

Some metals may be more long wearing than others, while other metals are so hard, such as tungsten and titanium, they make carving almost impossible. Check with your jeweler as to what is going to be the best metal for your wedding ring requirements.

Conclusion.

Carved wedding rings can be an excellent option for those seeking a unique or highly embellished wedding ring. Lovers of jewelry styles ranging from pagan to Celtic to Victorian to contemporary will all be able to find a carved wedding ring to suit their taste.
