Traditional wedding rings such as platinum, silver, and gold, are engraved with jewelers tool known as a graver. A graver is essentially a mini chisel. Gravers come in many shapes allowing the jewelers to engrave many styles of text and symbols.

Tungsten carbide rings can be engraved, however the process of engraving a tungsten band is quite different from that of a gold wedding band.

Unfortunately due to tungsten carbide’s extreme hardness, they can not be engraved with a hand tool. Tungsten rings are engraved with a machine using a diamond tipped bit. The machine is programmed, your tungsten jewelry or ring is inserted, and once the process is finished you will have a precise engraving unique to you.

Check with the store from which you originally purchased your tungsten ring to see if having a custom engraving will in any way void your warranty. Ask to see examples of the font styles the engraver offers. This may not seem like a big deal but the font the engraver is using may vary from the one you have in mind.
Ask the engraver if there is a character limit for your engraving. Often engravers will charge an additional fee per character if you go over their set amount. Make sure the engraver has offers an insurance policy while the ring is in their care. Mistakes happen from time to time and you want to make sure your jewelry is in good hands. See if the time frame for the engraving is going to interfere with the date by which you need the ring.
