Jewelry Engraving Expertise
Wedding Ring Personalization - Personalize your bridal jewelry with custom engraving that captures your love story. Add initials, anniversary dates, GPS coordinates of where you met, or special phrases that hold meaning for your relationship. We work with all precious metals and can engrave inside bands (traditional) or on the exterior for a modern look. Our experienced jewelers take extra care to ensure perfect letter spacing and depth.
Bracelets, Pendants, and Charms - Transform ordinary jewelry into extraordinary keepsakes with personalized engraving. We can add names, birthdates, inspirational quotes, coordinates of special locations, or custom symbols to bracelets, pendants, and individual charms. Popular options include children's names on mother's bracelets, graduation dates on pendants, or meaningful coordinates on travel-themed jewelry.
Lockets and Memorial Jewelry - Lockets and memorial jewelry hold special significance, often containing photos or mementos of loved ones. We provide delicate engraving on these small, precious surfaces - adding names, dates, or brief meaningful phrases that honor cherished memories. Our jewelers use specialized techniques for ultra-fine engraving that preserves the beauty and integrity of vintage and heirloom pieces.
Watch Engraving by Expert Watchmakers
As certified watch repair technicians with extensive horological training, we're uniquely qualified to engrave timepieces safely and properly. Many engraving shops won't touch watches because they lack the expertise to open cases, engrave professionally, and reseal watches while maintaining water resistance and factory specifications. At Fast Fix, watch engraving is one of our specialties.
Watch Case Back Engraving - The watch case back is the most popular location for personalized engraving, perfect for retirement gifts, milestone anniversaries, achievement recognition, or commemorative messages. We carefully remove the case back, engrave your inscription with precision, and properly reseal the watch maintaining its water resistance rating. Whether it's a cherished family watch or a new luxury timepiece, we treat each watch with meticulous care.
High-End Timepiece Engraving - We understand the significant value of Rolex, Omega, TAG Heuer, Breitling, and other prestigious watch brands. Our jewelers take extraordinary precautions when engraving luxury timepieces, using specialized techniques and equipment designed for high-value watches. We've successfully personalized hundreds of luxury watches for Albuquerque customers, from vintage Submariners to modern Seamasters, always maintaining the watch's integrity and value.

We work with corporations, schools, sports leagues, and nonprofits throughout Albuquerque, providing perfectly aligned, easy-to-read engraving on metal plates, glass, acrylic, and wood.

Corporate Presents - Make lasting impressions with personalized corporate gifts. We engrave business card holders, pen sets, desk clocks, paperweights, and other executive accessories with company logos, recipient names, or commemorative messages. These thoughtful touches transform standard corporate gifts into memorable keepsakes that clients and employees will actually use and appreciate.

We accommodate lengthy phone numbers, multiple contact methods, and medical information when needed, all in durable metals that withstand active pet lifestyles.

What Customers Ask About Custom Engraving
How long does engraving take?
Most engraving work is completed within one week of dropping off your item. Simple projects like pet tags or basic jewelry engraving often finish faster, while complex designs or multiple items may take the full timeframe. Need it faster? Contact us about rush options. We accommodate urgent requests whenever possible, understanding that special occasions sometimes arise unexpectedly.
Can I bring outside items for engraving?
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.
What fonts and lettering styles are available?
Choose from dozens of professional typeface options during your consultation at Fast Fix. Our collection ranges from traditional engraving styles perfect for formal recognition items to contemporary fonts ideal for modern jewelry designs. We help you select appropriate fonts based on your item type, available space, and desired aesthetic. For example, delicate script works beautifully on wedding bands, while bold block letters ensure trophy plate readability. We can also create custom lettering or monograms for truly unique personalization.
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.
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 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.
