How to personalize with jewelry engraving
There are endless ways to personalize a piece of jewelry or a gift with engraving. Whether you're looking to add a touch of sentimentality or create a bold fashion statement, visit the store.
Our team would love the opportunity to help you explore the various ways you can add a touch of personalization. Some of the most popular options include:
Engraving a special date such as a birthday, anniversary or graduation. This allows you to carry a significant moment with you, serves as a reminder of a special day in your life, and creates memories that last a lifetime.
Engraving a meaningful quote, verse or phrase that holds personal significance. Whether it's an inspirational saying, a favorite song lyric or Bible verse or a motto that you live by, engraving the words onto jewelry or a gift reminds you to live your values and beliefs. It's a great way to express yourself and even showcase your unique personality.
Engraving symbols or motifs. From hearts and stars to infinity symbols or religious icons, these engravings hold personal meaning. And help make your jewelry or gift truly one of a kind.
What are some popular items for engraving?
Almost any piece of jewelry or metal gift can be engraved. Some items that are particularly well suited for engraving include:
Rings — especially ones designed for special occasions such as engagements, weddings or anniversaries — are one of the most popular items for engraving. Engraving the inside of a ring with the couple's initials, wedding date or years adds a romantic and sentimental touch.
Necklaces and pendants. Whether you're engraving a locket with a hidden message or a pendant with a personalized symbol or monogram, these pieces of jewelry are worn close to the heart. And, when personalized, are the perfect way to carry someone's love or memory with you wherever you (or the person you gift it to) go.
Bracelets and bangles. Engrave a simple cuff with a name or date. Or create a charm bracelet full of multiple engravings. When stacked or put together, the piece is personal and meaningful. Want something more discreet? Engraving can also be done on the inside of the bracelet.
Watches. The back of a watch is an ideal place to engrave a thoughtful message or to add a milestone date. Engraved watches are often given as gifts for high-school or college graduation, new jobs or promotions, and wedding gifts.
Glasses. Engrave the bride and groom's glasses for their wedding toast. Or go one step further and give everyone who attends a customize glass as a keepsake from the day. Own a restaurant? Create upscale barware with glassware etched with your logo or name.
Professional jewelry engraving vs. DIY
While DIY jewelry engraving may seem like a cost-effective option, it's important to consider its limitations and risks.
Engraving requires specialized tools and skills to achieve professional-looking results. Without the proper equipment and knowledge, there is a risk of damaging the jewelry or creating an uneven engraving. Most of the gifts we engrave often last a lifetime. And if you want a flawless finish, it's best to leave complex or intricate engravings to a professional.
Not all engraving works on all materials or pieces. You get different results depending on the type of metal and shape of the piece being engraved. We don't simply add engraving to a design. Our professional team will guide you on what's possible and help ensure the engraving you select will enhance the overall look and quality of the jewelry or gift.
Quality and craftsmanship are worth an investment. While professional services may come at a higher cost, you'll find it's worth it. You're not just paying for the engraving, but also for the expertise and attention to detail that goes into creating a specialized design personalized to you.
Specialized Engraving vs. Mall-Store Personalization
There used to be a store in every mall that offered gifts and engraving. You could walk in, pick out an item, have it engraved and leave with a personalized gift in minutes, not hours.
The specialized, in-house engraving performed by the team at B's Jewelers may take longer, but it provides you with:
Greater customization options
Each item in the mall store had a template loaded into the engraving machines. You may have been given a small selection of fonts or images you could engrave, but there were limits.
With specialized engraving, our team sets up the machines specifically for your piece of jewelry. This gives us the ability to engrave on curves, flat surfaces and explore any number of creative options with you in the design process. (And, yes, we can do flat engraving too for plaques or trophies.)
Wider range of materials
With multiple pieces of equipment, we can work with a variety of materials from metals to glass. By engraving on a high-quality item, the design is more durable and long-lasting. And depending on the item being engraved, we'll explore with you the design differences between laser engraving and traditional etching.
Expertise and artistry
Due to our experience with designing jewelry and engraving, we'll take the time needed to understand your vision. And ensure your design is beautifully executed and aligned perfectly with the item. We can work with complex surfaces and challenging materials. And will explore options with you if there's a better way to achieve your vision.
