Common Engraving Questions Answered
How long does engraving take?
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.

Do you only work on jewelry bought at Fast Fix?
Absolutely! We welcome and encourage outside items for engraving.

Want something completely unique? We'll help you design custom lettering that's distinctly yours.
Can engraving be undone?
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.
What's the maximum engraving length?
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.
