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?

It took over five jewelry stores before I was directed to Joseph Jewelry by a good friend. I am so glad that she referred me to them! My husband and I were looking to have a round cut diamond eternity band made for me for our 10 year anniversary. We wanted something really special made and reached out to Joseph Jewelry where we met Michelle. She was so helpful in walking us through the process of having my custom ring made. We thought the price was quite reasonable for the work that would be done and we liked that it was done right on the premises (a couple of places we visited had to have the setting done elsewhere, outside the U.S.). Every step of the process, the team at Joseph Jewelry kept us updated and delivered the ring much earlier than anticipated. The ring is absolutely gorgeous! At 5.5 ctw and set to perfection, it is a real stunner. I hope you will consider this wonderful jeweler if you are ever looking to have a special piece of jewelry made! I would highly recommend! Thanks Michelle and the team at Joseph Jewelry!
