Frequently Asked Questions About Engraving Services
How long does engraving take?
Typical turnaround is 3-5 business days, balancing speed with quality craftsmanship. Simple single-line engravings on readily accessible surfaces may be ready in 1-2 days, while intricate designs, watch case backs requiring disassembly, or batch corporate orders use the full timeframe. Reach out about expedited service if you're working with a tight deadline - we'll do our best to help.
Can I bring outside items for engraving?
Absolutely! We welcome and encourage outside items for engraving. Whether it's a treasured family heirloom, an online purchase, a gift from elsewhere, or vintage jewelry passed down through generations, we're equipped and experienced to personalize it professionally. In fact, many customers specifically seek us out because our jewelry expertise allows us to safely work with valuable pieces that other shops won't accept. Bring us anything that needs personalization - if it can be engraved, we can handle it.
Can I choose my engraving font?
We offer an extensive selection of fonts including classic serif styles, modern sans-serif lettering, elegant cursive scripts, traditional block text, and decorative specialty fonts. When you visit our Coronado Center showroom, we'll show you font samples and help you select styles that complement your item and match your vision. We can also match specific fonts you provide or recreate particular typefaces when you have something specific in mind. Letter size and style selection considers both aesthetics and practicality - some fonts are more legible at small sizes, while others shine in larger applications.
Is engraving permanent? Can it be removed or corrected?
Once metal is engraved, the process cannot be reversed - text is permanently etched into the surface. Understanding this permanence, we implement careful safeguards to prevent mistakes. You'll review and sign off on your exact text including spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and spacing before we begin work. We double-check everything, including commonly confused details like dates and initials. This meticulous verification process ensures the engraving is exactly what you want. If an error somehow occurs on our end, we'll discuss solutions including possible refinishing or other remedies appropriate to the situation.
How much text can you fit on my item?
Character limits aren't fixed rules but rather practical guidelines based on legibility and aesthetics. A ring's interior might fit 20-25 characters beautifully while appearing crowded with 30+. A bracelet could accommodate a full quote if engraved on multiple surfaces or links. We guide you toward text lengths that work well for your specific item, considering factors like material, available area, and how the piece will be viewed. Our goal is engraving that's both meaningful and visually pleasing, not simply maximizing character count.
