Engraved Wedding Bands: When Actions and Words Speak Louder

You've decided to permanently etch your feelings into a piece of metal you'll wear every day. Smart move. Our engraved wedding bands take "putting it in writing" to an entirely new level of commitment.

When a ring needs to say more than just "I'm taken," our collection delivers. From classic golden wedding bands to modern salt and pepper diamond rings, each piece becomes uniquely yours with the addition of a date that changed your life, coordinates of where you met, or maybe a friendly reminder that the ring belongs on your finger, not the bathroom sink.

Think of it as the ultimate personal statement – a tiny time capsule you wear daily. And unlike that "meaningful" phrase you considered tattooing on your bicep during that questionable period in college, we'll make sure your engraving is exactly what you want, spelled correctly, and won't require awkward explanations at future family gatherings.

Types of Engraved Wedding Bands

Different metals showcase your engraved message in unique ways. Here's the lineup:

  • Gold (Yellow, White, Rose): The traditional choice that takes engraving like a champ. Your message shows up with crisp definition against that warm backdrop. Available in 10K and 14K, because "forever" shouldn't mean "forever in debt."

  • Titanium: Lightweight yet tough as your wedding day hangover. Your words stand out against its modern silver-gray surface with impressive clarity. Hypoallergenic bonus for when you're already committed to a person, not a rash.

  • Tungsten Carbide: Nearly indestructible, like your mother-in-law's opinions. Engravings appear with sharp contrast that'll outlast your wedding hashtag, your honeymoon tan, and possibly civilization itself.

  • Black Zirconium: Engravings reveal the silver beneath the black exterior for a dramatic two-tone effect. It's like your message is wearing a tuxedo while the rest of the ring rocks a leather jacket.

  • Cobalt Chrome: Bright, brilliant finish that resembles white gold without the "I might need a second job" price tag. Takes detailed engravings like it was born for it.

  • Platinum: The premium choice for men who don't check price tags. Dense material allows for incredibly detailed engravings with impressive depth. Never tarnishes, much like your love (but significantly more expensive).

Popular Engraving Ideas

Staring at that blank engraving field with the same panic as writing your vows? We've got you covered:

Dates & Coordinates

Your wedding date ensures you'll never sleep on the couch for anniversary amnesia. GPS coordinates of where you met add modern romance with a dash of "yes, I can use Google Maps."

Quotes & Lyrics

Borrowing words from professionals is always solid. Just remember our 15-character recommendation – "Bohemian Rhapsody" won't fit, "My forever" will.

Inside Jokes & Promises

That weird nickname or inside joke that makes you both laugh while everyone else looks confused. It's your private comedy club, membership: two.

Names & Initials

Simple but meaningful, like proposing without hiring a flash mob. Your partner's name, shared last name, or intertwined initials.

Symbolic Phrases

Time-tested classics for when originality isn't your strong suit:

  • "Forever & always"

  • "All my love"

  • "My heart is yours"

Choose something you won't mind explaining to your grandkids someday. Family stories have to start somewhere.

Who Is Manly Bands?

Meet John and Michelle, the husband and wife team who started Manly Bands out of their garage in 2016.

After having a horrible experience finding John's wedding band with limited sizes, boring options and an awful customer experience, they set out to change the ring industry and make the most badass bands for every hand.

Today, we've grown beyond our garage in Utah, but our mission remains the same: help every person find a genuine badass wedding band that's as unique as they are. Because if you're going to wear one ring for the rest of your life, you better be guaran-damn-teed to love it.
