Engraving

In a world of computers, why on Earth do we still use hand engraving?
See an example of machine engraving and good hand engraving side by side and the reason becomes obvious. It's a little like comparing typing to someone who can write in a fine copperplate. A little piece of art in its own right, good hand engraving improves the overall look and quality of what it is engraved on.
Never ones to ruin the ship for a halfpenny of tar, our engraving service is handled by one of London's best hand engravers (actually, a family of them). This means that we can offer a wide range of styles - not just scripts but crests, logos, interlinked initials (called cipher) and - most intriguing of all - facsimiles of handwriting or signatures.
Please note that because of the handling, repolishing, insurance and delivery to and from the engraver, there is a minimum charge of £22 for hand engraving which typically covers up to 8 letters of inscription (such as a name) or two initials.
We like to allow at least 7 working days for engraving (though it is usually faster than this) and obviously more complex projects such as crests or images may take a little longer and we will advise at the time of ordering.
When ordering online, please indicate as accurately as possible in the comments box in the basket, the text and style you require and the position of the engraving on the silverware. Alternatively send a separate email to sales@braybrook.co.uk or fax 0208 993 7335.
Unless the engraving is very straightforward, we will usually telephone you to discuss and confirm the engraving before we proceed - we'll also send you a written confirmation just to be sure.
If in any doubt, just ask us and we will advise.
