What Customers Ask About Custom Engraving
What's your typical turnaround time?
Standard engraving projects take 3-5 business days from drop-off to completion, though simpler work may be ready sooner. This timeframe allows proper setup, careful execution, and thorough quality inspection. Rush service may be available for time-sensitive gifts or urgent corporate needs - call us at (505) 855-9191 to discuss your specific timeline and check availability for expedited processing.
Do you only work on jewelry bought at Fast Fix?
Yes, of course! We happily engrave pieces purchased anywhere, including family heirlooms, online retailers, other jewelry stores, or items gifted to you. There's no requirement to purchase from Fast Fix to use our engraving services. Our certified jewelers work with items from any source, treating each piece with the same professional care regardless of where you acquired it. Your satisfaction and the piece's safety are our priorities.
Can I choose my engraving font?
View various lettering styles and fonts when you visit our store, from elegant cursive writing perfect for romantic jewelry to clean modern fonts ideal for corporate items and professional accessories. Our experienced staff recommends appropriate styles based on surface area, material, engraving technique, and intended use. Need to match existing engraving on a set? We can replicate styles. Want something completely unique? We'll help you design custom lettering that's distinctly yours.
Can engraving be undone?
Engraving creates permanent marks that cannot simply be removed, making accuracy critical. We prevent mistakes through multiple verification steps: you provide text in writing, we confirm every detail verbally, you review a proof or mockup when appropriate, and we verify once more before engraving. This systematic approach has resulted in an excellent accuracy record over our years serving Albuquerque. Should the extremely unlikely happen and we make an error, we'll take responsibility and work toward a fair resolution.
Is there a character limit for engraving?
Text capacity depends on your item's size, the surface area available, and your preferred letter size. Generally, wedding bands accommodate 15-30 characters comfortably (about 2-3 short copyright or initials plus a date), watch case backs handle 30-50 characters (2-3 lines of text), and larger items like flasks or plaques can fit considerably more. We'll assess your specific item during consultation and recommend appropriate text length for optimal legibility and appearance. Remember, sometimes less is more - concise, meaningful text often creates more elegant results than cramming maximum characters into available space.
