Laser Engraving
At Joseph Jewelry, we have a laser to engrave text and designs on rings and other metal pieces. We can engrave almost any design you’d like, keeping in mind the size of the object to be engraved.

How does laser engraving work?
Our laser engraver is much more precise than a traditional diamond-tipped jewelry engraver. We can engrave 100% accurate designs of different sizes, down to extremely small details that no other engraver can accomplish. We’re able to adjust the depth of the laser so that we can go heavier or lighter, as well.
To engrave a phrase, names, or date, we will send you a list of our fonts. You choose the font, send us exactly what you would like engraved, and we will do it. For the inside of a ring, it is usually best to stay around 15-20 characters in length.
For a more custom engraving, you can send us what you’d like engraved, and we may create a mock-up for you to approve before we execute engraving on the actual object. We will convert the image you send us into a file compatible with our machine, and then complete several passes over the design with the laser until it is deep enough and achieves the look the client wants.
What can be laser engraved?
In the past, some designs we have engraved are wedding dates, Bible passages, symbol patterns, names, quotes, animals, music notes, fingerprints, a handwritten message, and other symbols. We can engrave almost any design.
Some objects we can put the engraving on are rings, watches, bracelets, and various small metal objects. Many of our clients request an engraving inside of their custom rings made with us. One thing to keep in mind is the laser just barely cuts through the surface of the metal. For designs that are more than just letters and cover a wider area, you may want to request adding black antique painted in the engraving to allow the design to stand out more.
What is the difference between hand engraving and laser engraving?
Hand engraving is an art form and done by an artist with many years of experience. The designs created by hand are usually artful patterns unique to the piece, and sometimes reflecting old world style. These patterns require an artist because of the complex cuts and curves that take a skilled hand to execute. Joseph Jewelry offers this service, as well.
On the other hand, laser engraving is all about precision. The design that is put into our computer program is exactly what will be engraved. The laser can accurately engrave the tiniest symbols and words.
How much does laser engraving cost?

Absolutely fantastic experience designing my fiance's engagement ring! Working with Pascale and Bonnie through multiple design iterations was an incredibly enjoyable process. I provided multiple examples of what my fiance liked, what she liked and disliked about each one. Then after we had already gone through a few designs I completely changed it up and worked with an existing design. The huge change didn't phase them at all and they kept the same design notes in the customization process. Not only did they do all that, but they put a rush on the design when my fiance decided she wanted to visit the store. She had no idea that we were in the process of designing a custom ring, so Bonnie & Pascale created a fake project to show her using the design we had. Overnight Bonnie did the CAD & 3D model to show my fiance in store. They all went above and beyond, helping to refine her tastes better than I ever could have done myself, even as far as having Joseph bring out the two diamonds (Ideal Square and Princess) to "show her the difference" without her knowing it was her deciding which would be in her ring. During the visit and all the way until I told her the background after proposing my fiance had no idea what was going on. They put a rush on the manufacturing, too. Couldn't have possibly been happier with the entire experience. Very professional, flexible, understanding, and always on board to to make not only the ring perfect but the entire experience of design through proposal. Couldn't recommend Joseph Jewelry any more strongly.
