Frequently Asked Questions About Engraving Services
What's your typical turnaround time?
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?
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.
What fonts and lettering styles are available?
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.
What if I make a mistake in my text?
Engraving permanently alters the surface of your item and cannot be erased or removed without potentially damaging the piece. This is precisely why we take extraordinary care to ensure complete accuracy before starting any work. We review your text in writing, verify spelling and punctuation, confirm proper names and dates, and get your approval before proceeding. Our attention to detail and thorough verification process prevents errors. In the extremely rare event of a mistake on our part, we'll work with you to determine the best resolution, which may include refinishing options or, in some cases, replacement depending on the item and circumstances.
What's the maximum engraving length?
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.
