Birth Flower Engagement Rings: Hand Engraving Both of Your Flowers
By Clint Casmiro, Co-Founder, Smiro Studio, Toronto · Updated September 28, 2026
Short answer: A birth flower ring has the flowers for your birth months engraved into the band. Our favourite version uses both partners' flowers, one down each side of the band, meeting at the diamond. On this ring, her January flowers (carnation and snowdrop) run down one side and his May flowers (lily of the valley and hawthorn) run down the other. It has to be done by hand to get that level of detail.
If you love flowers and want a hand engraved ring, this is the one.

If you love flowers and you want a hand engraved ring, this is the most beautiful ring I think you'll ever see. So our clients wanted both of their birth flowers wrapping down the sides of the band and flowing into the diamond. So her birthday is in January, so on one side of the band you can see carnations and snowdrops. So beautiful, so detailed. And on the other side, his birthday was May, so you can see lily of the valley and hawthorn. And that's how we got both of their birth flowers wrapping and intertwining on this band, really resembling the both of them hand engraved on this ring.
The ring in the video
Our clients wanted both of their birth flowers wrapping down the sides of the band and flowing into the diamond. Her birthday is in January, so one side has carnations and snowdrops. His is in May, so the other side has lily of the valley and hawthorn. The two sides intertwine at the top, one flower for each of them.
Birth flowers by month
These are the traditional birth flowers most people use. Many months have two, which gives you options.
| Month | Birth flowers |
|---|---|
| January | Carnation, snowdrop |
| February | Violet, primrose |
| March | Daffodil, jonquil |
| April | Daisy, sweet pea |
| May | Lily of the valley, hawthorn |
| June | Rose, honeysuckle |
| July | Larkspur, water lily |
| August | Gladiolus, poppy |
| September | Aster, morning glory |
| October | Marigold, cosmos |
| November | Chrysanthemum |
| December | Narcissus, holly |
Where on the ring can the flowers go?
- Down the sides of the band, like this ring. Visible every day.
- On the bridge, under the diamond. Hidden from the top and our favourite spot for something personal.
- Around the whole band, for a full floral look.
Why it has to be hand engraved
A carnation and a snowdrop look nothing alike, and neither do their leaves. Carving each flower by hand is what makes them recognisable. A cast pattern cannot follow a custom design this closely. See the difference in our good vs bad engraving guide.

Can I combine my birth flower with my partner's?
Yes. One on each side of the band, meeting at the diamond, is our favourite way to do it.
Can I add birthstones too?
Yes. Small birthstones can be set in the bridge or basket alongside the engraving.
Can you engrave a flower that is not a birth flower?
Yes. Wedding flowers, a flower from where you met, anything. Bring a photo.
How much does a birth flower engraved ring cost?
A fully custom ring from us starts at about $4,000 USD, and most of the rings we build land between $4,000 and $5,000. Our Ready To Order settings start at $1,299 CAD, plus the diamond. The centre stone moves the price most: in September 2026 a 2 carat lab grown diamond ran about $2,500 CAD and a 3 carat about $2,700 CAD. Hand engraving adds bench time, and the more of the ring it covers, the more it adds. Real numbers are in our cost guide.
What is the birth flower for each month?
January carnation and snowdrop, February violet and primrose, March daffodil, April daisy and sweet pea, May lily of the valley and hawthorn, June rose and honeysuckle, July larkspur and water lily, August gladiolus and poppy, September aster and morning glory, October marigold and cosmos, November chrysanthemum, December narcissus and holly.
Can you engrave a birth flower on a wedding band?
Yes. A single flower or a vine of both partners' flowers works on bands as narrow as about 3mm.
