Can engraving on shank be redone

[redroze]

I love my new ring from ERD but I have one regret, and that's telling them to do the swirly engraving only on the band surrounding the centre diamond and to do a different engraving style (that looks like little lines) on the rest of the shank. I was worried their engraving may not be great so thought the line style (which looks like half of a wheat pattern, for anyone familiar with wheat engraving) would be easier to do/harder to screw up. But I was wrong and the swirly engraving looks great - and I should have asked them to continue it on the rest of the shank. It bugs me as I don't feel like it matches - and the rest of the ring is so stunning that I feel like I messed up this one thing on the profile.

Anyone know if engraving can be redone by sanding down or buffing down the old engraving? Or should I just wait for it to wear out then get them to do the engraving then? I know on the Antique Jewelry forum, someone did apply new engraving to a worn out shank of an eternity band. But that one was worn out from age rather than sanded down.

Here's a close up for reference...am I just being too nitpicky? What do you think?


Here's the swirly engraving of the Single Stone inspiration ring:

I would contact them directly and see what they say? (I also had to send my ring back to the vendor. Some details are just hard to predict without seeing in real life.)

edited to add: I think it would be an incredibly long time before the engraving would get worn down naturally. My first e ring reset was platinum and hand engraved and after 15 years of daily wear, it never wore away at all (and I wore a white gold band next to it, even the two different metals didn't wear away at it!).

Fantastic advice!
