Engraved Keepsakes

Engraved Keepsakes & Pendants

Small pieces, marked at the resolution the material actually allows. Stainless takes the same warm bronze oxide as our knife handles, so a pendant and a knife from one order match in tone.

Shop engraved keepsakes

Every piece is engraved to order. Personalization, artwork and quantity are set on the product page — nothing is produced until you approve a proof.

How small the mark can go

Keepsakes are where the laser’s resolution shows. Cap height down to 1.6 mm stays legible on stainless and line weight down to 0.15 mm survives, which is enough for a rose, a handwritten signature traced from a card, a set of map coordinates, a date, or a short dedication on a piece that fits in a palm.

Signatures and handwriting

A scan or a clear photograph of a signature converts to vector cleanly if the pen line is unbroken. Send the original at whatever size it was written; we scale it and show you the result on the proof at the exact size it will appear on the piece.

Questions

About engraved keepsakes

Can you engrave handwriting or a signature?
Yes. Send a scan or a sharp photograph of the writing on plain paper. An unbroken pen line converts to vector cleanly; a faint or broken one we redraw by hand.
What is the smallest text you can engrave?
About 1.6 mm cap height on stainless and titanium, and about 2.5 mm on glass. Line weight down to 0.15 mm survives on metal.
Is a chain and gift box included?
Yes. The stainless pendant ships on an 18-inch stainless chain in a gift box, ready to give.
