Restore Engraving
Custom engraving is a beautiful addition to any piece of jewelry, and it can really impact the character and appearance of a piece. If you have an older item with engraving that’s showing signs of wear, our skilled craftsmen can restore it for you to its original appearance.
We can also add engraving to an existing piece if you’re looking for a way to change its look or increase its symbolic significance. Because all of this type of work is carried out by hand under a microscope, we can match any pattern or design, whether it was originally included on the piece or not.
Process Overview
To restore custom engraving on any piece, we follow a set of general steps designed to ensure that you come away with a piece that looks as good as new. However, each item includes unique features and so presents different challenges, and we take these particulars into account as well.
- To begin any custom engraving restoration, we first identify the original pattern present on the ring or other item.
- Next, we’ll redraw the outline of the pattern to ensure an exact match when we begin the engraving.
- We then use professional engraving tools to recut and restore the pattern completely.
- Finally, we’ll refinish and polish the piece to restore it to its original appearance.
Matching Patterns
Our skilled artisans have extensive experience working with custom engraving on all kinds of fine jewelry. This makes it possible for them to recreate all kinds of patterns and designs, whether they’ve been developed especially for you or they were used on your piece when it was first created.
Even the oldest patterns of engraving can be restored using the techniques and tools we have at our disposal, and that means we can have your antique ring or family heirloom looking like new and with all of the original details preserved.
A New Look
Alternately, if you have an existing piece that you’d like to change the look of, adding custom engraving can help with that. Our skilled artisans can recreate just about any pattern or design you choose, and including this type of detail on a piece is a great way to add personal significance or give it a bit of vintage flair.
A Beautiful Finish
No matter what type of repairs or other work we’re performing on your jewelry, we’ll refinish and polish it to return it to you in like-new condition. Our professional jewelers will also check to ensure there are no other issues that need to be addressed such as loose gemstones or insecure clasps, so that you can wear your beautiful jewelry again without worry.

I seriously have not had better customer service in my life than I had with the folks at Joseph Jewelry! The entire experience when looking for that perfect engagement ring can be somewhat intimidating, especially for first time buyers. I had shopped around at a few different places before coming here, and I couldn't find anything that I liked, let alone a shop I felt comfortable going into. Every other place I went to the employees would jump on you as soon as you opened the door, and would hover around you making the entire experience fairly uncomfortable. While the folks at Joseph Jewelry obviously say hi when you walk in, and asked you if they could help with anything, they didn't stand over my fiance and I as we browsed. They polity waited for us to ask for help, and when we did they made it so we felt comfortable and not rushed in the process. Andrea was the person who initially helped us, and she was so nice, and very knowledgeable about each piece in all the cases. We looked at quite a few options, but when my finance found the ring, that was it. What I found to be different about Joseph Jewelry was that they could customize everything about the ring, and they can actually work around your budget, not just say they can unlike of some other places I had been to. Once you find the ring, it comes time to customize it and this is where Joseph Jewelry, in my opinion differs from other Jewelry stores. Finding the ring is just the beginning, it's after that where they truly shine. You sign up for an account with them, which is what you use to message back and forth with the person doing the customization, I had Usiel. Usiel was amazing, he truly embodies the meaning of customers service, and going above and beyond a customers expectations. They start with taking what you talked about with the sales associate, and create a CAD rendering of the ring. They then send you a message through the account you set up before hand with the renderings and you either approve, or reject the design. In my case I 100% approved the design, it was beautiful. However, my fiance didn't know that I had started this process and started talking about changes she would have made to the ring about 3 days into the process. When she tried the ring on initially she did so with the corresponding wedding band, which was a little thicker than the actual engagement ring. Usiel was great, didn't even question it, or push back, he just said not a problem and sent me another CAD rendering with the changes. We messaged back and forth the entire time, and he kept me up to date with everything. Words cannot truly express my how happy I am by choosing them. The ring came out gorgeous, and my finance was blown away when she saw it. We'll be 100% coming back for both our wedding bands closer to the wedding. I know there a countless jewelry store options to choose from, but if you take anything away from reading this review please go there first, I promise you, you'll be blown away by your experience there.
