To engrave or not to engrave

Thanks @rockysalamander . Another option for the area where the shank meets the crown and is at it's widest.point.

Very nice. I like the blending of the linear wheat/leaves and the soft curving elements.

All I can say is that this thread is making me want a ring with an engraved shank!

I find it odd that no one has posted examples of this style with the engraving. I haven't tried googling any myself, but It seems like others have. My point is, if this style isn't readily available, maybe it's Bc the two seem incongruous. Your bezel seems so bold and modern. The engraving might disrupt that look and produce a ring that is not very cohesive. Just my opinion.

That's what gave me pause as well, especially since all of the elements of my ring came from vintage pieces around 1920. Funny, right.

Ok, I went for wheat engraving to enhance the antique feel and for practical reasons.

I do think my DH wants to get rid of me, though. He received the package at his office and all he sent is this
