Are you thinking of getting the love of your life a surprise gift for your wedding day?  Maybe you're thinking of buying him a watch as a token of your love and a reminder of the best day of your lives so far? 
How about going a step further and having a secret message hand engraved on the back of the case...making it a truly personal gift for the Groom; just imagine his surprise upon opening it when getting ready with his Groomsmen!
The options of what to engrave are endless - your entwined initials, your wedding date or your favourite saying are the most popular options.  Unlike laser engraving, this will last a lifetime no matter how often the watch is worn. 
​What would you engrave for your Groom?

Many couples wish to have matching wedding bands and hand engraving is a great way to personalise your rings.  We've had lots of clients wishing to include their spirit animals and as long as you're opting for fairly wide bands this is absolutely not a problem!  We advise a minimum width of 7mm for this style of work.  Rings are available from London Engraver in Sterling Silver, 9ct & 18ct yellow/white/rose gold and platinum.

Not many people have had the chance to see traditional hand engraving done.  The below video is a short example of how Ray works - with a hand push graver, eyeglass and GRS vice.  In this video he is engraving a script monogram onto a sterling silver ring.  You can see how the letter 'G' is almost completed in just one single cut.
