How to Order a Name Ring
Getting the size right is the only hard part, and it takes about a minute.
-
1. Find your ring size
Measure the inner diameter of a ring he already wears, in millimetres, and match it: 17 mm is a size 6, 18 mm a 7, 19 mm an 8, 20 mm a 9. Sizes 10 and above vary by about a millimetre between designs, so check the chart on that product page. No ring to measure? The Wave Ring is adjustable and sidesteps the question entirely.
-
2. Choose gold or silver tone
The Classic, Brute and Minimal come in both. Gold is 22 carat plating over the steel; silver tone is the polished steel itself with nothing on top. Underneath they are the same grade 316L band, so this is a decision about looks rather than durability.
-
3. Add the name and we engrave it
Type the name or initials, pick a font, and check the preview before you pay. We laser-etch it into the centre of the band in our own workshop — cut in, not printed on — and dispatch within 24 to 48 hours. Free shipping across India, Cash on Delivery available, gift box included.
Engraving is included in the price. Because each ring is etched to order, the name cannot be changed after it is cut — check the preview screen carefully.
Gold or Silver Tone: Which Ring to Pick
Both finishes sit on the same grade 316L band at the same price, and both carry the same engraving. The honest difference is that gold is a coating and silver tone is not — which matters most if you never take a ring off.

Name Rings for Men, Engraved to Order
A name ring is exactly what it sounds like: a band with a name, initials or a date cut into it. Ours are laser-etched at the centre of the band in our own workshop — cut into the metal rather than printed on top, which is the difference that shows up in year three. Printed lettering fades fastest on the pieces you never take off, and a ring is the piece most people never take off.
Every ring on this page is built on grade 316L stainless steel, the alloy used for surgical instruments. It does not rust, does not tarnish and does not turn skin green — which is the failure people usually mean when they say a ring reacted with them. Prices start at ₹999 and every design is in stock.
How to Find Your Ring Size
The reliable way is to measure a ring he already wears rather than his finger. Take the inner diameter in millimetres, across the middle, and match it: 17 mm is a size 6, 18 mm a size 7, 19 mm a size 8, and 20 mm a size 9. Above that the designs differ by a millimetre or so, so use the chart on the individual product page for sizes 10 and up.
Two practical notes. Fingers are slightly larger at the end of the day and in warm weather, so if you are between sizes, take the larger one. And if you cannot get a measurement at all — which is usually the case when it is a surprise gift — the Wave Ring is adjustable and removes the risk completely.
Custom Rings for Men: Gold or Silver Tone
The Classic, Brute and Minimal come in both finishes at the same ₹999. Gold is 22 carat electroplating over the steel; silver tone is the polished steel itself, with no coating at all. That last detail is the one worth understanding: because there is nothing plated on a silver-tone ring, there is nothing that can wear through. Rings take more abrasion than any other piece of jewellery, so for a band worn daily through work and washing, silver tone is the more forgiving choice. Gold photographs better and suits festive and wedding wear.
One honest clarification: silver tone here means the colour of polished stainless steel, not sterling silver. If you specifically want 925 silver, our sterling silver rings are a separate range.
What to Engrave on a Name Ring
A first name, initials or a date, at the centre of the band. Keep it short — a ring is the smallest engraving area we work with, so three or four characters sit boldly where a long name has to shrink. The product page shows the limit as you type and gives you a preview before you pay.
Names and dates age well. Nicknames age at the speed of the phase that produced them, and this is metal, so there is no editing it afterwards. The Photo Ring is the exception to the short-text rule — it is a signet face that takes an engraved photograph instead of lettering.
Engraved Rings for Men as a Gift
Personalised rings solve the problem that makes gifting men difficult: he already owns a version of anything generic you could buy him, but not one with his own name cut into it. At ₹999 to ₹1,499 they land where a gift reads as considered rather than obligatory, and every order arrives in a premium box, so no wrapping is needed.
If the size is the thing stopping you, buy the adjustable Wave Ring, or pair a ring with a bracelet or kada — both adjustable, both engraved in the same font on the same machines.
Customized Rings for Men in India
Every ring is engraved to order in our own workshop in India, which is how a made-to-order product still dispatches within 24 to 48 hours — faster than most customized rings sold here, which are ordered in and personalised by a third party. Shipping is free across India, Cash on Delivery is available on every order including engraved ones, and delivery typically lands 4 to 7 days after dispatch.
Looking After a Personalised Ring
Rings live a harder life than the rest of your jewellery — they meet soap, sanitiser, gym bars and car keys every day. Silver-tone steel needs nothing beyond a wipe. For a gold plated band, put it on after soap and hand sanitiser rather than before, and take it off for weight training, where the knurling on a bar will abrade any plating quickly. If the plating ever does thin at the contact points, what shows through is stainless steel, not a green base metal.
Name Rings for Men — FAQs
What is a name ring?
A name ring is a band engraved with a name, initials or a date. At Etchcraft Emporium the text is laser-etched into the centre of the band — cut into the metal rather than printed onto it, so it cannot rub off. Engraving is included in the price, and each ring is made to order in grade 316L stainless steel.
How do I find my ring size at home?
Measure the inner diameter of a ring he already wears, in millimetres. 17 mm is a size 6, 18 mm a size 7, 19 mm a size 8 and 20 mm a size 9. For sizes 10 and above, check the chart on the product page, as the designs differ slightly. Fingers swell in heat and by the end of the day, so if you are between two sizes take the larger.
Do you have an adjustable ring?
Yes — the Wave Ring is adjustable and needs no size at all, which makes it the safe choice for a surprise gift. Every other design is made to a fixed size, so it needs a measurement before you order.
Is the silver option real silver?
No, and we would rather say so plainly. The silver option is the colour of polished grade 316L stainless steel with no coating on it — not sterling silver. That is a genuine advantage for a ring worn daily, because there is no plating to wear through, but if you specifically want 925 sterling silver, that is a different range.
Will the gold plating wear off?
Rings take more abrasion than any other jewellery, so plating thins at the knuckle contact points sooner on a ring than it would on a pendant. Put it on after soap and sanitiser rather than before, and take it off for weight training. If it ever does thin, what shows through is stainless steel, not a green base metal — and the silver-tone version has no plating at all if that is a concern.
Can I put a photo on a ring?
Yes. The Photo Ring is a signet-style band with a flat face that takes a high-resolution engraved photograph rather than lettering. It is 22 carat gold plated stainless steel and comes in sizes 17 to 20, which correspond to 20 to 23 mm inner diameter.
Will these rings turn my finger green?
No. Green marks are caused by copper and nickel alloys reacting with sweat. Grade 316L stainless steel contains neither in a reactive form, which is why it is used for surgical implants. Every ring here is hypoallergenic and safe for daily wear, including in the shower.
What can I get engraved on the ring?
A name, initials or a date, in your choice of fonts, etched at the centre of the band. A ring is the smallest engraving area we work with, so shorter text sits better — the product page shows the character limit as you type and gives you a preview before you pay.
How long does delivery take?
We engrave and dispatch within 24 to 48 hours even though every ring is made to order. Delivery typically lands 4 to 7 days after that, anywhere in India. Shipping is free and Cash on Delivery is available.
Does it come gift wrapped?
Every order arrives in a premium compact box as standard, so no separate gift wrapping is needed. Because the ring is engraved to order, the name cannot be changed once it is cut — check the preview screen before paying.
