Engraved Plates for a Jewelry Box – That Personal Touch

Engraved Name - The Personalized Touch!

 An engraved name plate adds just the right personal touch to a jewelry box gift, and are available for ChasingTreasure's jewelry boxes, armoires, music boxes, & watch cases.

There are three basic types of personalization:  initials, monogram, and message.

The initials are of the recipient, not the giver (seems obvious, yes, but we have been asked!), and can be two or three initials.  In the case of two, the order will be the first letter of the first & last name, in that order.  If three initials, a middle name is added and the order is first, middle, last.

For monogram style, all three initials are used, with the order altered to be:  first name initial, last name, middle name, with the last name initial more prominent with a larger font.

Messages are obvious and can be the recipient’s name, or, more likely, a special event such as an anniversary, wedding, or engagement.  Longer messages can go to two lines, which is almost always the max number of lines for an engraved plate.  Obviously, the longer the message, the smaller the type, and we at ChasingTreasure limit to 23 characters total.

While many jewelry boxes comes with nameplates directly from the manufacturer, most are shipped separately, where the recipient affixes the plate to the jewelry box him/herself.  There is no concern about the quality of the attaching glue, as the adhesive used is extremely strong.  So strong, in fact, that you have to be very careful that you place it correctly the first time, as removing it will damage the underlying wood (a reason why we cannot accept returns with the plate attached).

Brass or nickel finish, script or block font, make up the selections.  The most popular choice is brass script, and arrives in 3 to 4 days from shipping, and the plates are laser engraved.

Whatever the occasion, an engraved plate gives a wonderful personal touch to be remembered through the years and decades to come, and a perfect luxury jewelry box gift for a wife!

Popular Jewelry Box Engravings

Of course you’ll want to engrave a personal message, but if you are lost for ideas why not try, “Thinking of You,” or “Always.” For something a little more formal that represents a special event, perhaps the name and date would be more suitable. Just remember, some companies will charge by the word or letter; therefore, longer messages are generally more expensive. Visit Kyle Designs for a list of engraving quotes for different occasions.

An engraved gift is something that the recipient will love and cherish for many years. They are perfect for monumental events such as christenings, millstone birthdays, anniversaries and weddings, as they will become a physical representation that moment in time.

Other Great Items for Engravings

Cigar Cases
 At an average price of $300 to $700 per box, cigar smoking is an expensive habit. Over 90% of cigars in circulation are fakes and the seasoned smoker will easily tell the difference. Cigar cases are the perfect alternative if you’re looking for something a little cheaper than a full box of authentic Cubans. If you do want to fill it with cigars, however, make sure you use a reputable supplier such as The Cigar Club.

Hip Flask
The hip flask is one of the most popular gifts for engraving. It’s classy, smart, functional and a great way to celebrate the 18-year milestone. Most hip flasks come with a small area that’s ready for engraving. If you want to add a little kick to it, pre-fill it with a fine whiskey or spirit.

Tankard
The tankard is another great gift for 18-year-olds and over the past few years drinking from them has been hugely popular. Unlike the other products on this list they are made from pewter, which is not only perfect for engraving, but also cheap; some people even argue that it compliments the taste of the beer.

Tech Gear
In today’s digital world you can even engrave tech gear such as stylus pens, iPhone chargers, smart phone cases and computer mice. If you’re buying for a tech whiz, then this might be more suitable than something traditional.

Pens and Pencils
The pen and pad that we all grew up with at school is dying. Nowadays when most of us try to write freehand the sensation almost feels alien. But that’s one of the main reasons why the engraved pen and pencil can be a perfect gift; it will encourage the recipient to keep freehand writing alive.

Pocket Watch
The pocket watch may seem a bit pointless, but not every gift is about functionality. Sometimes it’s just nice to receive something a little more traditional and old-school; no digital technology or batteries, just good old fashioned cog winding. The pocket watch is something everyone will appreciate, love and cherish.
