Is your wedding band inscribed? And, if so, what does it say?

Hello from across the pond!

Happy Valentine's Day! Smile

I was just cleaning my ring and I was reminded that my wedding ring is inscribed on the inside. For reference, it is a bloomed 18k gold band with old European cut diamonds from the Victorian era (1900-1909) as says Faithful Unto Death My husband has an antique ring from the same era and it says the same thing. We chose this particular inscription because it mirrors our marriage vows and our promise to one another that we will always have each others back in all things. Fidelity, sickness, etc., but it says it in a much more eloquent and nostalgic waySmile

Anyway, I love all things romance, so I would love to know if you lovely ladies (and gentleman) of MN have anything inscribed in your rings and if so what is the meaning behind it?

@MadameJosephine, apparently so although I can’t find out much about it. A google tonight showed one on eBay from the early 1950s with the word stamped in in the same way. My grandparents were married in the early 40s I think.

It doesn't really.

Nothing in my wedding ring, but if I were getting married now it would say 'Tant que je vive'.

Ours say "for all time". It took us a long time to get together, and the inscription was to remind us that this time it's forever.

Birdie6, that is so lovely! Smile
If you don't mind my asking, what is your story? Were you kept apart? Or, did you meet him later in life?

My ring is my DM's that her DD made in the Jewellery Quarter - it didn't fit her anymore and was sat on a shelf as we didn't want to touch it. My DGD had inscribed it with 'Love is Eternal'. When I got married last year I took it back to the Jewellery Quarter and this fabulous elderly man altered it for me and put the inscription back in exactly the same as my DGD had put it.
