I had an excellent experience shopping for an anniversary gift here. I had stopped by just to browse and felt very comfortable and well taken care of. I had left and shopped around but came back because of the options and reasonably priced items compared to others. I had gotten an 18kt diamond cut necklace for me and my lady and can’t stop admiring them! They had even gave me tips on how to keep them clean and they offered to clean them at the store for free as well. Awesome experience and will definitely come back.

Machine Engraving vs Hand Engraving

Hand Engraving

Hand engraving is the art of using hand tools to create an inscription in a piece of jewelry. This technique allows the engraver to employ a variety of widths and depths with each carve in the design, resulting in a unique, one of a kind aesthetic.

Machine Engraving

Whereas hand engraving makes use of manual tools to create inscriptions, machine engraving makes use of powered tools. Machine engraving provides a cleaner and more uniform look as compared to hand engraving, which is an important consideration if symmetry and uniformity of the inscription is the goal.

Jewelry Engraving FAQ

As long as there is ample space on the piece, and it’s accessible by our tools, we can engrave it.

If you’re not sure we can engrave your particular piece, feel free to bring it into our showroom. Our team can evaluate the spacing on your jewelry to determine what can be engraved on it.

In addition to our engraving services, we can also create personalized name necklaces.

For these pieces, our master jewelers work with you to create a custom script to be used with your name, a loved one’s name, or a child’s name. Once the script template has been approved, it’s then etched onto either gold or platinum.

With the template in place, our jewelers then carve your name out, resulting in a solid pendant that’s both expressive and personal. Additional personalization can be made by including a gemstone or diamond.

At our showroom, you can then browse our wide range of necklaces to pair with the pendant, to create a piece that’s truly unique, and fitting to your personal style.

You can get all different kinds of inscriptions, symbols, and patterns engraved on your jewelry.

If you’re looking for something more sentimental, quotes, names, initials, and names are things that are commonly inscribed. Popular examples of these include getting a wedding date inscribed on the insides of a wedding band, or having a meaningful message inscribed onto a pendant.

If you’re looking to add more art to a piece, you can get a pattern or motif engraved into it to give it a special look.

Note that in recent times, with the advent of machine engraving and laser engraving, hand engraving has become somewhat of a dying art. It’s a technique that requires a lot of time, practice, and patience to master. For these reasons, hand engraving is typically more expensive than machine engraving.
