Hand engraving is a wonderful approach to personalization! Names, monograms, dates and special sentiments can be etched onto items to instantly transform them into one-of-a-kind gifts. I start by sketching the design onto the surface, before using a small and portable micro drill to inscribe the design. The engraving can be elevated by adding silver or gold filling, or it can be left unfilled for a minimalist and equally beautiful look!

I can hand engrave a wide variety of surfaces, including glass, metal and plastic. Please note that champagne bottles and similar pressurized containers cannot be engraved due to the risk of explosion, during or after the engraving process. However, I’m still able to personalize such items with beautiful hand lettering, using a sleek gold or silver metallic paint pen!

For all engraving commissions, I provide the materials needed to personalize the items (engraving tools and wax fill), and the client is responsible for providing the items to be personalized.

Absolutely; this is one of my most highly requested services! Engraved perfume and cologne bottles are perfect for so many occasions, including weddings, anniversaries, and birthdays. For inspiration, see the gallery below, and to book a fragrance engraving, locate my easy-to-fill form here!
