Common Engraving Questions Answered
How long does engraving take?
Typical turnaround is 3-5 business days, balancing speed with quality craftsmanship. Simple single-line engravings on readily accessible surfaces may be ready in 1-2 days, while intricate designs, watch case backs requiring disassembly, or batch corporate orders use the full timeframe.

Do you only work on jewelry bought at Fast Fix?
Yes, of course! We happily engrave pieces purchased anywhere, including family heirlooms, online retailers, other jewelry stores, or items gifted to you. There's no requirement to purchase from Fast Fix to use our engraving services. Our certified jewelers work with items from any source, treating each piece with the same professional care regardless of where you acquired it. Your satisfaction and the piece's safety are our priorities.
What fonts and lettering styles are available?
View various lettering styles and fonts when you visit our store, from elegant cursive writing perfect for romantic jewelry to clean modern fonts ideal for corporate items and professional accessories. Our experienced staff recommends appropriate styles based on surface area, material, engraving technique, and intended use. Need to match existing engraving on a set? We can replicate styles. Want something completely unique? We'll help you design custom lettering that's distinctly yours.
What if I make a mistake in my text?
Engraving permanently alters the surface of your item and cannot be erased or removed without potentially damaging the piece. This is precisely why we take extraordinary care to ensure complete accuracy before starting any work. We review your text in writing, verify spelling and punctuation, confirm proper names and dates, and get your approval before proceeding. Our attention to detail and thorough verification process prevents errors. In the extremely rare event of a mistake on our part, we'll work with you to determine the best resolution, which may include refinishing options or, in some cases, replacement depending on the item and circumstances.
How much text can you fit on my item?
Character limits aren't fixed rules but rather practical guidelines based on legibility and aesthetics. A ring's interior might fit 20-25 characters beautifully while appearing crowded with 30+. A bracelet could accommodate a full quote if engraved on multiple surfaces or links. We guide you toward text lengths that work well for your specific item, considering factors like material, available area, and how the piece will be viewed. Our goal is engraving that's both meaningful and visually pleasing, not simply maximizing character count.
