No surprises

How it works

Nothing is cut, and nothing is charged, until you have seen a proof and said yes.

  1. One

    Send us what you have

    A photograph of the print, the card, the handwriting, or the face. Taken on a phone in daylight is fine. We will tell you within a day whether it will engrave well, and we will tell you honestly.

  2. Two

    We prepare it

    Cleaning up, setting the size, deciding how deep to cut so the detail survives — and which material will hold it best. You see a proof before anything is touched. Nothing is cut until you say yes.

  3. Three

    We cut it once

    None of these materials forgive a second pass. That is why the proof matters, and why we would rather spend an extra day on the file than send you something we would not keep.

If the piece is for a service or a date you have to meet, say so in your first message and we will tell you straight away whether it is possible.

Most pieces are made and shipped within two to three weeks of an approved proof. If the finished piece does not match the proof you approved, we remake it — and if we still cannot get it right, you are refunded in full.

Start a piece

Tell us what you have. If you are not sure whether it will work, that is exactly the message to send — we would rather talk you out of something than sell it to you.

We read every one of these ourselves and reply within a day. Nothing is cut, and nothing is charged, until you have seen a proof and said yes.

Taken on a phone in daylight is fine. Keep the original wherever it is — we never need it sent.
