Jewelry Engraving Expertise
Bridal Jewelry Engraving - Personalize your bridal jewelry with custom engraving that captures your love story. Add initials, anniversary dates, GPS coordinates of where you met, or special phrases that hold meaning for your relationship. We work with all precious metals and can engrave inside bands (traditional) or on the exterior for a modern look. Our experienced jewelers take extra care to ensure perfect letter spacing and depth.
Personal Jewelry Customization - Create personalized treasures with names, dates, special messages, or custom designs engraved on your favorite jewelry pieces. Whether you're commemorating a birth, celebrating an achievement, or honoring a loved one's memory, our precision engraving adds sentiment and value to bracelets, pendants, lockets, and charm jewelry.
Keepsake Pieces - Memorial and keepsake jewelry requires extra sensitivity and precision. Whether you're personalizing a locket with a loved one's initials, engraving a date on cremation jewelry, or adding a meaningful quote to a remembrance piece, we treat these items with the reverence they deserve. Our careful approach ensures perfect results on even the most delicate surfaces.
Watch Engraving by Expert Watchmakers
As certified watch repair technicians with extensive horological training, we're uniquely qualified to engrave timepieces safely and properly. Many engraving shops won't touch watches because they lack the expertise to open cases, engrave professionally, and reseal watches while maintaining water resistance and factory specifications. At Fast Fix, watch engraving is one of our specialties.
Caseback Personalization - The watch case back is the most popular location for personalized engraving, perfect for retirement gifts, milestone anniversaries, achievement recognition, or commemorative messages. We carefully remove the case back, engrave your inscription with precision, and properly reseal the watch maintaining its water resistance rating. Whether it's a cherished family watch or a new luxury timepiece, we treat each watch with meticulous care.
Premium Watch Customization - Luxury watches require expert-level care and precision. Whether you own a Rolex Datejust, an Omega Speedmaster, or another prestigious timepiece, our certified watchmakers employ specialized engraving techniques designed specifically for high-end watches. We understand these watches represent significant investments, and we treat them accordingly with museum-quality care and attention.
Corporate Engraving and Recognition Awards
Celebrate accomplishments with custom engraved recognition items. Our corporate engraving services include employee awards, service recognition plaques, sales achievement trophies, safety awards, and team championship trophies. We understand the importance these items hold for recipients and ensure every piece meets the highest standards.
Professional Desk Accessories - Elevate your corporate gifting with custom engraved executive items. From leather portfolios with engraved nameplates to high-quality pen sets with personalized inscriptions, we help Albuquerque businesses create professional gifts that strengthen relationships. Perfect for client appreciation, new hire welcomes, or retirement celebrations.
Custom Accessories
Animal Safety Tags - Ensure your pet's safety with professional ID tag engraving. Our deep, clear engraving remains legible for years, even with daily wear. We include all essential information - pet name, owner phone, address - in fonts sized for maximum readability. Available in various shapes, sizes, and metals to suit any collar.
Personalized Groomsmen Gifts - Choose thoughtful personalized accessories for the men in your life. Whether it's monogrammed money clips for groomsmen, engraved keychains for Father's Day, or customized flasks for a milestone birthday, our precision engraving transforms ordinary items into extraordinary gifts. We work with quality materials including stainless steel, brass, and leather-bound items.
Feminine Personalized Gifts - Design unique feminine gifts with custom engraving on personal treasures.

Common Engraving Questions Answered
What's your typical turnaround time?
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. Reach out about expedited service if you're working with a tight deadline - we'll do our best to help.
Do you engrave items I didn't purchase from your store?
Absolutely! We welcome and encourage outside items for engraving. Whether it's a treasured family heirloom, an online purchase, a gift from elsewhere, or vintage jewelry passed down through generations, we're equipped and experienced to personalize it professionally. In fact, many customers specifically seek us out because our jewelry expertise allows us to safely work with valuable pieces that other shops won't accept. Bring us anything that needs personalization - if it can be engraved, we can handle it.
What fonts and lettering styles are available?
Choose from dozens of professional typeface options during your consultation at Fast Fix. Our collection ranges from traditional engraving styles perfect for formal recognition items to contemporary fonts ideal for modern jewelry designs. We help you select appropriate fonts based on your item type, available space, and desired aesthetic. For example, delicate script works beautifully on wedding bands, while bold block letters ensure trophy plate readability. We can also create custom lettering or monograms for truly unique personalization.
Is engraving permanent? Can it be removed or corrected?
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 website 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.
What's the maximum engraving length?
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.
