You can have any image which can be a photo, hand and footprints, a child's drawing or handwriting. You can then have any text on the back. We are happy to accommodate any design requests and you are welcome to send any images to us before purchase to check that they are suitable for your chosen item, although we cannot always guarantee engraving results.
Stainless Steel Heart Charm – 15mm x 15mm x 6mm
Ribbon Bracelet - 7.5inch Approx
Our engraved items are made out of high quality stainless steel and do not tarnish. They make great gifts and keepsakes for any occasion including Valentines, Birthdays, Weddings, Baby Births, Christmas, Mothers & Fathers Day or a lovely way to remember a lost loved one.
The image is engraved onto the item, engraved images are made up of thousands of tiny dots which mark the stainless steel item creating a holographic effect, so as you move the item around it will appear darker and lighter. The item is Stainless Steel and therefore silver in colour (scans do not have a black background) and has a high polished mirror finish. Engraved images cannot come in colour.
Photo Requirements
Please ensure your image is not blurry and not too dark, please do not crop or reduce the size of your image and ensure that there is not a bright background behind the subject. The image that you send can be black and white, sepia or full colour, this does not have any effect on the engraved result. To get the best engraving results we will edit the image and where required remove backgrounds, we will also zoom in on the faces (unless specified otherwise).
Font
Choose your font from the photo above. If you do not select a font, we will default to the font that suits the design best. If a design is shown with different fonts only the more decorative font will be changed unless you specify a change of font for the whole of the text.
Text
Send us your chosen text, making sure you use the correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling, as we will copy and paste your text from the email directly on the engraved item.
Design Requirements
Please send us any additional information regarding your order, for instance layout requests and if you require any symbols or emoji’s. If we do not receive any instructions regarding your layout we will add the layout we feel looks best.
Tips for children's drawings or handwritten messages
The best results come from using a dark felt pen on a white background (although you can send us any drawing and we can edit it before engraving it, if in doubt you can email the drawing prior to purchase), please avoid coloured in drawings, line drawings will give the best and clearest results. Please scan or take a bird’s eye photo of the drawing / handwriting. If taking a photo please avoid shadows over the drawing.
Tips for taking hand and footprints
Dark Paint on White Paper
You can use a dark coloured paint on white paper to take the prints. Black paint is best. Once you have taken the print(s) please scan or take a high quality, bird’s eye photo of the print and send it to us, quoting your order reference. We can remove small smudges if necessary.
Photo
Alternatively you can take a photo of the hand and foot. I will remove the background, but please make sure the image is not blurry and without shadows.
