Engraving a fine personal accessory makes it immediately more special.....more personal.....
and a keepsake.
Its a wonderful pocket watch or money clip or engraved Blazer Buttons.....a really nice set of tuxedo stud sets....but as soon as there are initials on it...........it takes on a whole new world of importance. Suddenly it is personal...........and it becomes a gift or a personal choice that is not discarded the next year or two. It becomes a lifetime possession. An item that might have ended up at the bottom of the drawer or gotten thrown in jumbled box of items at a garage sale, once personalized, is now highly valued.
I have cuff links, which I wear, that were my Dad's. I also have watches which belonged to by Dad and to my Grandfather--- both have their initials. These mean the world to me and I will pass these on to my sons. I also have many items with my own initials. Many of these have been gifts from special people and from special times. Most engraved items have room for three initials........with the last name initial the most prominent in the middle. Some will have room for a full name (up to 12 letters) in block or script or.......some will have room for a date or year.... or Greek Fraternity letters......which really bumps up the importance of a particular item.
Sterling Silver, Gold or Silver plate, or the really wonderful 14 Karot Gold-----gifts of this nature make wonderful and treasured gifts for Graduation,Bar Mitzvah, wedding..........and wedding party...........and for someone special. Tuxedo Stud Sets, Blazer Buttons,money clips, letter openers, belt buckles (both casual and dressy), as well as pocket watches, wrist watches, luggage tags, Ink Pens, Dress Shirt Collar Stays and pocket knives. Tie Bars have just recently made a big comeback---now very "In" with new narrower ties. There are some nice desk and bar items and even some permanent plates that can be personalized for luggage. These items do not necessarily need to be Gold or Sterling Silver to be considered important........the metal really is secondary.
Most engraving is done by machine but Hand Engraving done by a craftsman on Sterling Silver is really a work of art.
No matter which metal or method is selected.......These items were chosen for you.......with your initials or name..........that's what is important.
