What Customers Ask About Custom Engraving
When will my engraved item be ready?
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 only work on jewelry bought at Fast Fix?
Definitely! The majority of our engraving work is actually performed on items customers bring from elsewhere. We accept family heirlooms, online purchases, gifts, vintage finds - essentially any item suitable for engraving. Our jewelry expertise means we can confidently accept valuable and delicate pieces that standalone engraving shops often refuse, providing professional service regardless of where you obtained your item.
What text options do you offer?
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.
What if I make a mistake in my text?
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.
Is there a character limit for engraving?
Text capacity depends on your item's size, the surface area available, and your preferred letter size. Generally, wedding bands accommodate 15-30 characters comfortably (about 2-3 short copyright or initials plus a date), watch case backs handle 30-50 characters (2-3 lines of text), and larger items like flasks or plaques can fit considerably more. We'll assess your specific item during consultation and recommend appropriate text length for optimal legibility and appearance. Remember, sometimes less is more - concise, meaningful text often creates more elegant results than cramming maximum characters into available space.
