Engraving Services
Personalized. Permanent.

Hand and machine engraving on rings, pendants, lockets, and gift jewelry — fast turnaround for retail gifting programs.

What engraving services is

And when a piece
actually needs it.

Engraving cuts text or artwork permanently into metal — by hand with a graver, by rotating machine cutter, or with a laser for fine detail and photo etching. Hand engraving has depth and a cut edge that catches light; machine and laser work are faster, more uniform, and better suited to volume gifting programmes. Which one you need depends on the surface: a curved inside band, a flat locket face, and a hardened steel case each demand a different tool.

Overview

Engineered for
retail programs.

Engraving is high-volume seasonal work for most retailers. Our engraving bench runs hand, machine, and laser engraving in parallel to keep gifting-season SLAs intact.

We support proofing workflows for retailers who need customer approval on script and layout before cutting.

FAQ · Engraving Services

Engraving Services,
answered.

Specific questions about engraving services — what it costs, when it's needed, and what we do differently.

Can an existing engraving be removed or changed?
Often. Shallow engraving can be polished out and recut, but each removal takes metal, so there is a limit — we assess the wall thickness before committing and tell you if it is not safe.
Which fonts and scripts are available?
Standard block and script sets, plus custom fonts and brand logos for retail programmes. We proof the layout for approval before cutting anything.
Can you engrave a ring that is already set with stones?
Yes for inside-band work in most cases. Tension settings and full-eternity bands are the exceptions, and we flag those at intake rather than at return.
