Hello, thank you for your feedback, the engraving will darken over time, the rings are custom made to order in our UK workshop and are very highly polished when dispatched. We do give all our dimensions/sizes on the product page so that our customers can make an informed decision before purchasing, the engraving is sized to fit the size of the rings, however as per your previous email, you did ordere from us, but it appears you have been looking at another website with a similar product and with a very similiar name to ours. With kind regards, Emma, Customer Services
