    This is certainly possible to do by hand. The advantages are that
    the engraving will be deeper, so it will last longer. The ring could
    accommodate 2 narrow lines, or possibly done in a single continuous
    line, depending on the style of lettering. Block would be easier to
    read for this type of work, but script can be very elegant.
