If it can be held and it can be marked, it has probably crossed this bench. Below is what we are asked for most.
Case-back messages, dates and monograms on Rolex and other fine timepieces. Where the watch calls for it we engrave by hand so the cut matches the finish of the piece rather than flattening it.
Names, dates, vows and fingerprints inside gold, platinum and titanium. Hard metals are routine here — including bands other engravers have already turned away.
Bracelets, cufflinks, pendants, dog tags, lockets, pens, Swiss Army knives and wine stoppers — the small objects that end up meaning the most.
iPads, iPhones, laptops and accessories engraved cleanly on anodised surfaces. We have offered this since the first iPad landed on 47th Street.
Awards, plaques, presentation plates and name plates, laid out so the text sits properly on the piece instead of being squeezed to fit.
Send artwork and we will set it up for engraving — logos, symbols, signatures and monograms. Volume orders are welcome, and every piece comes out identical.
A great deal of our work is finished the same day — often while you wait. Anniversaries get remembered late, and flights leave in the morning; we understand.
Call ahead on (212) 221-2611 and describe the piece. We will tell you honestly whether it can be done today before you make the trip to 47th Street.
It depends on the item, the method and how much lettering is involved. Call or send an enquiry describing the piece and we will quote it before any work begins.
Yes. Hard metals are routine here. Customers regularly bring us titanium bands that other engravers have already refused.
Yes — most of what we engrave is brought in by customers, and by other jewellers in the district on behalf of their clients.
Vector artwork (SVG, AI, EPS or PDF) gives the cleanest result. A high-resolution PNG or JPG is usually workable too — send what you have and we will tell you.
