Tips for the perfect engraving

✅ DO's – How to make your engraving perfect

• Check spelling several times – check names and dates carefully
• Keep it short – less text = better readability
• Date format consistent – ​​DD.MM.YYYY (e.g. 12.04.2025)
• No umlaut problems – ä, ö, ü are usually not a problem
• Consider capitalization – "EMMA" or "Emma"?
• Request a preview – Use digital engraving preview
• Enquire early – especially before Christmas and during baptism season

---

❌ DON'Ts – What you should avoid

• Texts that are too long – difficult to read and appear overloaded
• Too many details – Name + Date + Time + Weight = too much
• Unusual characters – heart symbols, emojis mostly not displayable
• Poorly legible fonts – avoid fancy fonts
• Spelling mistakes – cannot be corrected after engraving!
• Request too late – Request at least 2 weeks before the appointment

---

Care of engraved silver gifts

Cleaning:
Wash with warm water and mild detergent. Be careful when engraving; don't rub too hard.

Polishing:
Use a silver care cloth. The engraving may become slightly duller—this is normal and adds an antique charm.

Storage:
Store in a dry place, ideally in a gift box or cloth bag. Use anti-tarnish strips.

Important:
Do not use aggressive cleaners or abrasives – this could damage the engraving.
