What Customers Ask About Custom Engraving
When will my engraved item be ready?
Most engraving work is completed within one week of dropping off your item. Simple projects like pet tags or basic jewelry engraving often finish faster, while complex designs or multiple items may take the full timeframe. Need it faster? Contact us about rush options. We accommodate urgent requests whenever possible, understanding that special occasions sometimes arise unexpectedly.
Can I bring outside items for engraving?
Definitely! The majority of our engraving work is actually performed on items customers bring from elsewhere. We accept family heirlooms, online purchases, gifts, vintage finds - essentially any item suitable for engraving. Our jewelry expertise means we can confidently accept valuable and delicate pieces that standalone engraving shops often refuse, providing professional service regardless of where you obtained your item.
What fonts and lettering styles are available?
View various lettering styles and fonts when you visit our store, from elegant cursive writing perfect for romantic jewelry to clean modern fonts ideal for corporate items and professional accessories. Our experienced staff recommends appropriate styles based on surface area, material, engraving technique, and intended use. Need to match existing engraving on a set? We can replicate styles. Want something completely unique? We'll help you design custom lettering that's distinctly yours.
What if I make a mistake in my text?
Engraving creates permanent marks that cannot simply be removed, making accuracy critical. We prevent mistakes through multiple verification steps: you provide text in writing, we confirm every detail verbally, you review a proof or mockup when appropriate, and we verify once more before engraving. This systematic approach has resulted in an excellent accuracy record over our years serving Albuquerque. Should the extremely unlikely happen and we make an error, we'll take responsibility and work toward a fair resolution.
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.
