Engraving Mercer County: Add Some Identity

By George Morris


Consider two watches. One has a sweet message and name on the back or somewhere on it. The other is plain straight from the shop and may even be slightly more expensive. Chances are that one will pick the sweet message every time. Even if it is only initials carved on there, it will mean more. It is a representation of the extra mile the person would go. It puts sentimental value on the watch. Engraving Mercer County has been around for eons and shows no signs of fading out. It only gets better and more modernized. It has moved from an old manual machine with a diamond drag to computers and lasers. The traditional ways have not been tossed aside though.

Security is guaranteed with etching. This is because it is difficult to make adjustments or alterations on an engraved item. It is also difficult to copy as no machine can mimic every curvature and laceration. This is especially important for companies, their seal will remain intact regardless.

This art form produces layered work. The number of layers can be as directed by the client or an artistic choice. Either way, it makes for an interesting and complicated logo. One that will encompass the quintessence of the company better that a simple printed one.

There have been studies surrounding this aspect with view to business. A good percentage agreed that the company appeared more professional with engraved stationery and other items. If it is a service company, it gives the entity a high quality more established outlook. The company will appear as though they have been in business much longer. This right here makes it worth the extra expense.

It is imperative that the engraver has all the relevant details. Nothing should be left to chance including name spellings. One should ensure to write these down before leaving the professional to work. They can take liberties with the font and design but never with crucial details like dates. These must be reiterated to them. Failure to this could prove detrimental to the whole gesture and end up ruining a perfectly good gift.

The aforementioned watch could have little to no space for any words or even initials. This is owed to the proclivity of manufacturers to writing stuff back there. Some engravers will turn one away saying that it is not possible. One should not give up immediately. This sentiment might not be shared across the board. They should try a few more to see if they can find someone to skirt around the problem.

It is assumed that this could be a very expensive affair. That assumption would be right if the plan was to use a middle man. Most people walk into jeweler shops needing some etching done. Little known fact is that these little shops will actually subcontract the work. Both parties will want a piece of the profit therefore driving up the price for the client.

Some materials are difficult or impossible to buff out and re-engrave. This means that room should not be left for a shoddy job. One must ask for customer testimonials and samples of previous work.
