Military Rings

Military Rings can be designed for specific campaigns and deployments, they can be created to commemorate campaigns such as Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) or Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF).

These two campaigns along with Operation Desert Storm have been in the news headlines for the past twenty years, well at least referred to in some form or other. Countless soldiers and civilians have become casualties to these conflicts, on both sides of the divide. Some of these were directly involved in the conflicts, but an alarming amount have been innocent civilians that were going about their daily business doing a days work and providing for their families.

For many soldiers whether active or retired, they like to have something that will remind them of their deployments and the friendships they built up during their military career. Some people can’t wear jewelry for one reason or other, so there are a number of other items that can be purchased from society gifts like the plaques with your military insignias on them, for others the family crest will make an ideal commemoration piece.

The ideal and treasured piece of jewelry is the military rings, its amazing what you can create with the options of text, images and wording around the stone. Take for instance you were or are involved in Operation Iraqi Freedom, you can design the following. On the top of the ring you can select a stone that relates to your birth month, lets say its May, then you opt for Green, then around this you can place the wording United States Military, that’s the top of the ring personalized.

Moving on to the sides, on the left side you can place the emblem that relates to Operation Iraqi Freedom and above that you can have the dates you were involved in the campaign formed above the emblem. Now all we have left is to design something for the right side of the ring, perhaps we can put the American Flag here and above that we can put the family surname. Inside the ring we can place an inscription that will be about 18 characters long, example “Gone but not Forgotten” in remembrance of those fallen comrades who gave their lives for our freedom.

The rings can be purchased in a selection of metals, White and Yellow Gold is very popular and Sterling Silver will suit everyone’s budget. When ordering the rings be careful about the ring size. It is advisable to have your ring measured by a competent jeweler as this will save you the bother of having it re-sized after you purchase if its not right.
