Where can I get a bracelet engraved?
It is usually slightly cheaper to commission an engraving as part of the purchase of a piece of jewellery rather than commissioning an engraving afterwards, as this service is usually offered at a discounted rate to buyers.
What types of engraving are available for bracelets?
With engravings, for example for a women's bracelet, there are three different techniques. With hand engraving, the jeweller or goldsmith employs a tool that has been used for centuries, the graver, and carves the engraving into the precious metal. With this technique the possibilities are limited, but the engraving is highly individual - the result of old-school craftsmanship. No letter is exactly as deep as another, giving each engraving its own unique character.
An alternative is diamond engraving, where the small diamond head of an engraving machine is used to write the engraving into the precious metal. The functional principle corresponds to that of a classic CNC milling machine. The engraving is therefore absolutely precise. Many different font styles are possible, but images cannot be engraved.
The most modern type of engraving is laser engraving, where a laser beam vaporises the top layer of the precious metal. In terms of aesthetics, this type of engraving has a matt appearance rather than a shiny appearance like engravings that are scored into the surface, and looks brighter than the surrounding material. With a laser there are no limits to your imagination: depending on the size of the surface to be engraved, you can choose anything - from lettering to symbols to miniature images.
How can I get a bracelet engraved?
Bracelet engraving ideas for a gift for a loved one are varied: popular engravings include short expressions of love, such as "Forever Yours", "With Love", "I Love You", "Yours Forever", "For Life", along with the date of the first meeting, engagement, or marriage.
Other popular ideas include short quotations, Bible passages, pearls of wisdom, a line from a poem, or motivational sayings and statements such as "Follow your heart", "Believe in yourself", "Stay yourself", "Trust in yourself" or "Anything is possible".
When choosing an engraving, bear in mind that a white gold bracelet with an engraving, for example, will probably be worn over and over again for a lifetime. Choose an inscription that will remain valid for many years to come and don't try to chase trends. What is on trend today may no longer be fashionable in five years time, but a timeless engraving will bring pleasure forever.
