Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a real safety device?

Yes. This is a real life ring intended for safety; personalization is added for identification and decorative appeal.

Is the text engraved?

No—lettering is marine-grade vinyl applied to the smooth strapless surface for maximum readability and durability.

How many characters fit on each arc?

We recommend ~18–20 characters per arc (including spaces). We’ll balance spacing and curve fit during proofing.

What’s the typical turnaround time?

Proof emailed within 1 business day. Production usually takes 1–3 business days after approval; shipping time varies by location.
