How to personalise your order
How do I place an order?
When placing an order, each product page will show the personalisation options available for that item.

We recommend checking spelling, dates and punctuation carefully before completing your order.

Yes. All engraved details are sealed with clear epoxy resin, giving them a premium glossy finish and helping to protect the engraving over time.
