This ring and no other was made by Elves
Who'd pawn their own mother to grab it themselves
If Broken or Busted it cannot be remade,
If found send to Sorhead (postage prepaid).

Seriously, a friend of mine was just showing me his great grandparents rings, that were now serving as rings for his marriage. He values the date on the ring and the names of his grand parents. I don't think he could buy a ring that would mean more to him.

You might never have offspring but I think I'd like the message:

for love ~ first names.

or

God keep our Love


My own preference is to not claim the highest achievements like "love forever" as if it is easy. Rather I'd ask help to get there, or a reminder to the wearer of the necessary elements ie.. trust, hope, loyalty etc....
