Frequently Asked Questions About Engraving Services
What's your typical turnaround time?
Standard engraving projects take 3-5 business days from drop-off to completion, though simpler work may be ready sooner. This timeframe allows proper setup, careful execution, and thorough quality inspection. Rush service may be available for time-sensitive gifts or urgent corporate needs - call us at (505) 855-9191 to discuss your specific timeline and check availability for expedited processing.
Do you engrave items I didn't purchase from your store?
Yes, of course! We happily engrave pieces purchased anywhere, including family heirlooms, online retailers, other jewelry stores, or items gifted to you. There's no requirement to purchase from Fast Fix to use our engraving services. Our certified jewelers work with items from any source, treating each piece with the same professional care regardless of where you acquired it. Your satisfaction and the piece's safety are our priorities.
Can I choose my engraving font?
We offer an extensive selection of fonts including classic serif styles, modern sans-serif lettering, elegant cursive scripts, traditional block text, and decorative specialty fonts. When you visit our Coronado Center showroom, we'll show you font samples and help you select styles that complement your item and match your vision. We can also match specific fonts you provide or recreate particular typefaces when you have something specific in mind. Letter size and style selection considers both aesthetics and practicality - some fonts are more legible at small sizes, while others shine in larger applications.
Is engraving permanent? Can it be removed or corrected?
Once metal is engraved, the process cannot be reversed - text is permanently etched into the surface. Understanding this permanence, we implement careful safeguards to prevent mistakes. You'll review and sign off on your exact text including spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and spacing before we begin work. We double-check everything, including commonly confused details like dates and initials. This meticulous verification process ensures the engraving is exactly what you want. If an error somehow occurs on our end, we'll discuss solutions including possible refinishing or other remedies appropriate to the situation.
How much text can you fit on my item?
The amount of text possible varies significantly based on item size, surface shape, and desired letter size for readability. Small engraving shop albuquerque jewelry pieces like rings work best with brief inscriptions - initials, short dates, or 2-3 word phrases. Medium items including watch backs and pendants accommodate longer messages of several copyright. Large surfaces like trophy plates or flasks can include substantial text, multiple lines, or even paragraphs. During your visit, we'll examine your item and help you craft text that fits beautifully while remaining easily readable.
