Engraving Placements

Before we proceed with engraving your order, we will always send you mock ups of the text placement to approve.

This will allow you to get an idea of how the final design will look and change the position or typeface if desired, before we finish production.

Engraving Typefaces

Choose from precision laser engraving for a clean, modern finish, or traditional hand bright-cut engraving for a more distinctive, antique inspired look. Each option brings its own character, giving you the freedom to create something truly personal.

Hand Engraving

Our hand-engraved letters are meticulously bright-cut into the metal, creating a striking, reflective finish. Each typeface is reclaimed from historical books dating from the 1600s to the 1800s, then carefully restored and revived to preserve its original character and charm. The result is a truly authentic antique aesthetic—one that evokes the elegance of a timeless relic, available exclusively on our jewellery.
