Our Materials

 

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 for engravings, making it our premier choice for sophisticated house signs, elegant coasters, and unforgettable photo gifts.

Sustainable Wood & Bamboo We use a selection of high-quality, sustainable woods and bamboo to bring a natural warmth to your engravings. Wood is a timeless and versatile material, ideal for serving trays that feel like functional art, intricate photo engravings that capture memories, and decorative boxes that will be cherished for generations.

Elegant Glass & Crystal For timeless sophistication, nothing compares to engraved glass and crystal. The way light refracts through the precision-etched lines creates a brilliant and dazzling effect. This material is our top choice for wedding flutes, corporate awards, and special occasion gifts that need to sparkle with importance.

Rich Leather Classic, durable, and full of character, our leather items develop a unique and beautiful patina over time. A personalized engraving on leather creates a rugged yet refined look, perfect for custom patches, keychains, and personal accessories that tell a story with every use.

Modern Stainless Steel For a sleek, modern, and incredibly durable option, we use high-quality stainless steel and other metals. The precision of a laser on a metallic surface results in a sharp, clean, and permanent mark that is ideal for long-lasting items like pet tags, keychains, and industrial-style gifts.

 

Caring for Your Creation

 

To ensure your personalized piece remains beautiful for a lifetime, please follow these simple care tips:

  • For Wood & Slate:

    • Gently wipe the surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth.

    • Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, abrasives, or submerging in water.

    • These items are not dishwasher safe.

  • For Glass & Crystal:

    • We recommend gently hand-washing your engraved glassware with mild soap and water to protect the fine details of the engraving.

  • For Leather & Metal:

    • Keep dry and clean with a soft, dry cloth.

    • Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or harsh chemicals to maintain the finish.
