Personalize Your Engagement Ring with Interior Engraving or Hidden Birthstones: Customized Details with Deep Meaning

When designing an engagement ring, it’s often the small, hidden details that carry the most personal meaning. At Laura Preshong, we offer customizations like interior engraving and hidden birthstones that let you tell your story in a subtle, sentimental way.

These options can be added to most of our existing engagement ring designs and are available through our customization process—whether you're shopping online or visiting our South End studio in Boston.

Interior Engraving

Interior engraving allows you to include a message, name, date, or symbol on the inside of the ring band. It's a private detail shared between you and your partner—a daily reminder of your connection.

Some of the most popular engraving ideas include:

  • A wedding or proposal date

  • Initials or full names

  • A short phrase, like “Always” or “To the moon”

  • Coordinates of a meaningful location

  • A simple shape, such as a heart or infinity symbol

Each engraving is completed with care and precision, and we’ll confirm the spacing and placement during your consultation.

Hidden Birthstones

For an even more personal touch, we can add a flush-set birthstone to the inside of your engagement ring band. This small gem is tucked out of sight but filled with meaning. You can choose your own birthstone, your partner’s, or even a loved one’s to carry with you every day.

Our clients love this meaningful customization for its color, symbolism, and connection. Hidden birthstones are available for most engagement ring styles.
