The Engraving Process
Step 1: Drafting
After confirming the design and placement with you, we sketch it directly onto the surface and triple-check everything.
Step 2: Engraving
Using our specialised tool, we etch the design onto the surface. We go over a second time to mimic the thin and thick strokes of calligraphy script.
Step 3: Complete
We carefully give the design a clean and it’s complete! It can be left as is for classic frosted look or an optional colouring can be added.
Step 4 (Opt): Adding Colour
Optional wax colouring can be added to enhance the engraving. Colour choices include gold, silver and rose gold. (NOTE): Colouring cannot be added to items that are intended for food / drink consumption
Our Perfume Hand Engraving Service begins from $65 for a date or an initial.
This includes:
•1x draft check of spelling and placement
•Choice of wax fill choice - gold, silver, or rose gold

FAQs
-
Yes it is! The design is carved into the surface using our specialised tool so it will last through the generations. As for the optional wax colour fill, it will last a long time with reasonable care.
-
As it’s all done by hand, we can engrave just about anything and on curved surfaces too which is unreplicable by machine. The only limit depends on the size of the item to be engraved on. We will provide guidance based on your specific request.
-
Most definitely!
We can engrave a range of materials that have a smooth non-textured surface including ceramic, marble, metal and some plastics. Glass is my most highly requested. -
We highly recommend purchasing a new perfume through a retailer as mailing perfumes can be tricky due to restrictions. Your retailer will have the necessary permissions to send it safely, which helps avoid any issues.
-
The engraving process itself is fairly quick, but please allow 3 - 4 business days for completion, depending on our current workload.
-
Shipping is between $17 - $35 depending on location. It covers the delicate nature and special handling required for perfumes during transit.
