ENGRAVING

We are not big fans of engraving. You would be surprised how many pieces come back asking if the engraving can be removed (divorce, re-gifting, selling, etc) -and no, it can't.  Also keep in mind that engraving is an added complication that can take time and you will need to plan ahead.  And, all engraved items must be prepaid and are non-returnable or refundable.

We do deep, permanent engraving and you should assume that it is non-removable.
Machine-engraving (you send out, see below) is lighter and in most cases, is removable.

Those things being said, we are expanding our engraving services for items on order (being made)
-Inscriptions on the back of belt buckles. In a variety of fonts.
-Customer-provided artwork. Your logo, brand, design.
-Engraving potential on the front! an alternative to appliqued initials and designs at a lesser cost.

See font samples below

*What we can tell you now:
Belt Buckle or Item ON ORDER: (waiting to be made)
On belt buckles the charge is $100 and there are few restrictions. However, if it amounts to a paragraph or more, there may be some price negotiations.
And don't forget that custom (to be made) items can't be held to deadlines. Typically I place them on the calendar seasonally: Late winter, Spring, Summer Fall. No end-of-year orders.

IN STOCK Belt Buckles: (already made)
We do not engrave any stocked leaf items (pendants, key chains etc.) the curve makes it impossible.
Unfortunately, it's difficult for us to  engrave the finished belt buckles with hand chisels due to the loop and pin. The charge is $150 and limited to 3-5 words.

Other options: You take or send your piece out to a machine engraver. Turn-around time including shipping is usually 3-4 weeks, depending on the season (they get busier near holidays).  The charge is usually around $35-$45.

I recommend: (but you can also check listings in your local area)
