Personalized Hand Engraving
Where a name becomes a keepsake
There's real energy in the room when I engrave by hand live at an event with guests gathering around, waiting to watch their name catch the light for the first time.
Hand engraving uses the same lettering as hand calligraphy, and allows me to personalize more materials. Liquor bottles, champagne flutes, perfume bottles, crystal, metal, stone and more can be personalized for your guests and clients.
As an engraving artist with years of hand-lettering experience, I offer both hand engraving by commission and live engraving on-site at your event — providing custom engraving services for weddings, corporate gifts, and brand campaigns alike.
Since every project is custom, engraving pricing varies. Please reach out for a quote.
Hand engraving lets me write on more surfaces than paper alone — and hand-engraved pieces make wonderful keepsakes, like a personalized perfume bottle someone will use and think of the occasion every time.
Whether it’s a name engraved on a champagne glass, a favor, branded liquor bottle or perfume bottle, each gift becomes something worth holding onto, a memory of a special occasion.
Since every project is custom, engraving cost varies by piece, material, and quantity, please reach out for a personalized quote.
Why hand engraving adds magic to your event
About Barbara
I work from my studio in Morris County, New Jersey, just outside New York City — the same desk where I first fell in love with calligraphy, and where every design still begins before it ever reaches a surface. From here, I travel into New York City for live events, and I'm just as happy bringing hand engraving to clients across New Jersey and beyond.
