Jewelry Engraving Expertise
Wedding Bands and Engagement Rings - 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.
Necklaces and Accessories - Design unique jewelry pieces that tell your story through custom engraving. From medical alert bracelets with critical health information to charm bracelets documenting life milestones, we bring your vision to life. We work with sterling silver, gold, platinum, and stainless steel, ensuring clean, legible engraving that stands the test of time.
Keepsake Pieces - Memorial and keepsake jewelry requires extra sensitivity and precision. Whether you're personalizing a locket with a loved one's initials, engraving a date on cremation jewelry, or adding a meaningful quote to a remembrance piece, we treat these items with the reverence they deserve. Our careful approach ensures perfect results on even the most delicate surfaces.
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.
Back of Watch Customization - 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.

Custom Accessories
Animal Safety Tags - Protect your pets with long-lasting engraved identification tags. Unlike printed tags that fade or scratch off, our engraved pet tags remain readable for the life of the tag. We accommodate lengthy phone numbers, multiple contact methods, and medical information when needed, all in durable metals that withstand active pet lifestyles.
Men's Accessories and Gifts - Create memorable groomsmen gifts or Father's Day presents with custom engraved men's accessories.

What Customers Ask About Custom Engraving
When will my engraved item be ready?
Typical turnaround is 3-5 business days, balancing speed with quality craftsmanship. Simple single-line engravings on readily accessible surfaces may be ready in 1-2 days, while intricate designs, watch case backs requiring disassembly, or batch corporate orders use the full timeframe. Reach out about expedited service if you're working with a tight deadline - we'll do our best to help.
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 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.
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 get more info 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?
Character limits aren't fixed rules but rather practical guidelines based on legibility and aesthetics. A ring's interior might fit 20-25 characters beautifully while appearing crowded with 30+. A bracelet could accommodate a full quote if engraved on multiple surfaces or links. We guide you toward text lengths that work well for your specific item, considering factors like material, available area, and how the piece will be viewed. Our goal is engraving that's both meaningful and visually pleasing, not simply maximizing character count.
