Add a Personal Touch With Our Engraving Guide

Looking to make your jewelry one-of-a-kind? Choose a special date, a message of love, a symbol or a name close to your heart and preserve it forever with engraving.

While shopping, look for the cursive symbol for engravable styles. Whether it’s the front of the design, the back or inside the band of a ring, each engraving is carefully added by our artisans in the Texas Hill Country.

Now the big question: laser or hand engraving Learn more about both options below.

Laser Engraving

Crisp and clear with black oxidation, laser engraving is easy to read. Our engraving preview tool lets you play with different engravings so you can create a design all your own.

Hand Engraving

There was a time when all engraving was done by hand, but today the art is known by a select few. Each hand engraved message carries a hint of the artist that created it, so while others may share your initials, your hand engraving remains truly one-of-a-kind.
