The Wedding Bands: A First Look
August 29th, 2008 @ 2:11 pm by Mrs. Avocado
Continuing with the wedding band creation process by bddesigns, today I’d like to show you the process of hammering and engraving.
Engraving. My handwriting is so terrible with a pen, I can’t imagine using a hammer.
Hammering. Doesn’t it look fun?
A smooth finish, 1/4 inch band for Mr. Avocado.
My finished trio. I’ll reveal what the inscription says when I receive the rings in the mail.
Did you do something nontraditional for your wedding bands?

So is the engraving on the oustide of the ring so it can be read instead of the inner part where your finger covers it? That is so neat.
beautiful…….its so special that u have pics 2 document this. your wedding album is going 2 be amazing!
very very cool! we’re in the middle of trying to figure out rings- we know what we want, it’s the price that’s the problem. meh.
ps- you write great posts too 
Awesome Avocado! How lucky are you that you have such amazing photos of the process.
We also went for custom bands. And I too am going to wear my wedding ring on my right hand! Beth Cyr made a set of these for us:

We even got two sets as I am really hard on rings and we think my FH will lose at least one.
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU. My FI and I fell in love with gorgeous rings from DeSignet that we can’t afford by the time our rapidly-approaching-wedding arrives, so we’re putting them off as an anniversary present later. I love, love, love, those hammered stacking rings and they’re well within our budget!
@Sara: I looked at textured rings as well! I had a whole bunch of Beth’s rings favorites while I was searching.
@Dani: Your comment really made my day! This is why I write for weddingbee. I hope that my posts are not only entertaining but helpful. I’ll be following your blog to see what rings you end up with!

About Me: Somehow this little farm girl found herself a genuine Pole to fall in love and eventually move away to Poland with. I am an LDS bride attempting to plan a private religious ceremony, ring ceremony, seated reception for 100, and an open house while coordinating for guests flying in from across the United States and as far away as Poland. I try to avoid fads, excess waste, and saturated fat. I strongly endorse photography, DDR, calorie counting, rss feeds, cooking, and utilizing your resources.
This is way cool, wish I had done something like this
