Our Materials & Care Instructions
Our Materials & Care Guide
Every gift starts with the right canvas. We handpick premium materials for their beauty, durability and ability to hold a story forever.
The Materials We Work With
Six premium materials, each with its own character. Every one chosen to hold your story permanently.
Natural Slate
With its rustic charm and unique layered texture, every piece of slate is one-of-a-kind. Its dark, rich surface creates a stunning high-contrast finish that makes engravings truly pop.
Sustainable Wood
Sustainably sourced hardwood and bamboo bring natural warmth to every engraving. Wood is versatile and timeless — ideal for functional art pieces that will be cherished for generations.
Glass & Crystal
For timeless sophistication, nothing compares to engraved glass and crystal. Light refracts through precision-etched lines creating a brilliant, dazzling effect that catches every eye.
Rich Leather
Classic, durable and full of character. Leather develops a unique patina over time, making each piece more beautiful with age. A personalized engraving creates a rugged yet refined look.
Stainless Steel
Sleek, modern and incredibly durable. The precision of a laser on metal results in a sharp, clean and permanent mark that will never fade, tarnish or wear away over time.
Acrylic
Acrylic offers a contemporary, eye-catching look. Available in multiple colors and finishes, it's perfect for modern gift designs, signage and decorative pieces with bold visual impact.
Caring for Your Creation
With simple care, every Letzengrave piece will stay beautiful for a lifetime — just like the memory it holds.
Wood & Slate
Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth after use.
Treat wood occasionally with food-safe oil to maintain the finish.
Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasives.
Not dishwasher safe. Never submerge in water.
Glass & Crystal
Hand wash only with mild soap and warm water.
Dry immediately with a soft lint-free cloth to avoid water marks.
Avoid dishwashers — heat and detergents can dull the engraving over time.
Store carefully to prevent chipping or cracking.
Leather
Keep dry and wipe with a soft dry cloth to remove dust.
Condition occasionally with a leather balm to keep it supple.
Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or harsh chemicals.
The natural patina that develops over time adds character — embrace it.
Steel, Acrylic & Metal
Wipe with a soft cloth to remove fingerprints and dust.
Stainless steel resists corrosion naturally — minimal care needed.
Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing pads.
The laser engraving is permanent and will never fade with normal use.
Good to know: All our laser engravings are permanent and will never fade, peel or wash off. The design is etched directly into the material at a microscopic level — your personalized gift will look as beautiful in 10 years as it does today.
