Frequently asked questions

What artwork can I send?
A clean, high-contrast image works best. Simple line art and bold shapes engrave more clearly than busy photographs.
Why does artwork need to be simplified?
Engraving has no colour and no gradients. Detail has to be carried by lines and shapes, so very fine shading is usually lost.
How deep is the engraving?
Deep enough to be felt by hand and to survive daily carry. It is not a surface mark that rubs away.
Can I engrave both sides?
Yes. Many designs are engraved on multiple faces — check the options on the product page.
How long does a custom order take?
Around 1–3 business days for engraving and dispatch, then 7–15 days tracked delivery.
