Elvish!!

 

We often get enquiries from customers who want some interesting ideas for what they could have engraved on a wedding ring. One of my favourites for the outside of a ring (as far as text goes, anyway) has got to be the people who have had elvish inscriptions as developed by Tolkein for the 'Lord of the Rings' books. The lettering is so beautiful, it has got a really ethereal quality to it:

One of our lovely customers even found this brilliant letter translator online, which I thought I should share with you all: http://tengwar.art.pl/tengwar/ott/start.php?l=en

You need to choose the PNG output format, type your message into the input box then press the transcribe button. (Thanks, Dave!)
