Wedding Rings

Engraving your wedding ring can show how much you care…

Your wedding ring is the ultimate expression of your love and commitment to someone else, but what if you could make it that much more special? At John W. Thompson & Son in Sydney we can help let your partner know how much you love them with a hand engraved message on their wedding ring. Having your wedding band hand engraved not only enhances its aesthetically pleasing nature, but can also heighten the unique connection you share with your partner.

How do I decide what message to put on my ring?

The message you wish to share with your spouse is completely your decision and may have sentimental value. Traditional hand engravings include the names of the bride and groom and their wedding date; however, the possibilities are endless. This is your chance to be creative; select a phrase from a song, poem or religious writing that’s special to you both. Your wedding band is a passionate representation of your partner’s love and a hand engraving will make it even more unique.

Our traditional hand engraving methods add authenticity and flare to your ring…

John W. Thompson is a master hand engraver with more than 50 years experience. John still uses the same methods to engrave as were used in the Middle Ages. There are very few master hand engravers still at work in the world and we aim to keep the craft of hand engraving alive and to pass it on through generations to come. With Master Hand Engravers John W. Thompson and Son, every design is delicately engraved using small engraving chisels.

A historical memory for everyone…

Experts have found that the ‘wedding ring’ began some 4,800 years ago with the ancient Egyptians. Twisting hemp and other natural materials into rings and bangles, Egyptians believed rings were linked with immortal love each having no end. These rings were worn on the fourth finger of the left hand due to the vena amoris, which was more commonly known as the love vein. It was believed that this vein ran directly from that finger to the heart, inevitably linking the couple’s destiny.
