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?

The first time my fiance and I went into the store we actually met Joseph and mentioned we wanted to get our wedding bands there and possibly customize them. Joseph was very friendly and immediately took us on a tour through his entire store and answered all our questions. I was very impressed at how well the store was arranged and how attentive his staff was. He was not pushy at all as we were not ready to buy at that time. When we finally were ready we worked with Bonnie who was very friendly and professional. She was very patient with me and my fiance and answered all of our questions, never seemed annoyed with all the questions we had and different designs we wanted to use and helped guide us to our perfect designs. The final result is stunning and I will be proud to wear this band for the rest of my life. Joseph and his staff are wonderful at what they do and work tirelessly to answer all your questions and make sure your custom design is perfect and matches the exact vision you have and will work with you until you are happy with it even if you change your mind and want to try a different design . I would recommend his store to anyone who is looking their engagement or wedding ring or just a custom item of jewelry. Thank you so much!!
