Jewelry Engraving Expertise
Wedding Ring Personalization - Personalize your bridal jewelry with custom engraving that captures your love story. Add initials, anniversary dates, GPS coordinates of where you met, or special phrases that hold meaning for your relationship. We work with all precious metals and can engrave inside bands (traditional) or on the exterior for a modern look. Our experienced jewelers take extra care to ensure perfect letter spacing and depth.
Necklaces and Accessories - Design unique jewelry pieces that tell your story through custom engraving. From medical alert bracelets with critical health information to charm bracelets documenting life milestones, we bring your vision to life. We work with sterling silver, gold, platinum, and stainless steel, ensuring clean, legible engraving that stands the test of time.
Sentimental Heirloom Engraving - Memorial and keepsake jewelry requires extra sensitivity and precision. Whether you're personalizing a locket with a loved one's initials, engraving a date on cremation jewelry, or adding a meaningful quote to a remembrance piece, we treat these items with the reverence they deserve. Our careful approach ensures perfect results on even the most delicate surfaces.
Watch Engraving by Expert Watchmakers
As certified watch repair technicians with extensive horological training, we're uniquely qualified to engrave timepieces safely and properly. Many engraving shops won't touch watches because they lack the expertise to open cases, engrave professionally, and reseal watches while maintaining water resistance and factory specifications. At Fast Fix, watch engraving is one of our specialties.
Back of Watch Customization - The watch case back is the most popular location for personalized engraving, perfect for retirement gifts, milestone anniversaries, achievement recognition, or commemorative messages. We carefully remove the case back, engrave your inscription with precision, and properly reseal the watch maintaining its water resistance rating. Whether it's a cherished family watch or a new luxury timepiece, we treat each watch with meticulous care.
Premium Watch Customization - We understand the significant value of Rolex, Omega, TAG Heuer, Breitling, and other prestigious watch brands. Our jewelers take extraordinary precautions when engraving luxury timepieces, using specialized techniques and equipment designed for high-value watches. We've successfully personalized hundreds of luxury watches for Albuquerque customers, from vintage Submariners to modern Seamasters, always maintaining the watch's integrity and value.
Professional Award Engraving
Fast Fix provides professional engraving services for Albuquerque businesses, schools, sports leagues, and organizations. From individual trophies to bulk award orders, we deliver crisp, professional engraving that reflects well on your organization. Our turnaround times accommodate even tight award ceremony deadlines, and we offer competitive pricing for volume orders.
Business Gifts and Executive Items - Make lasting impressions with personalized corporate gifts. We engrave business card holders, pen sets, desk clocks, paperweights, and other executive accessories with company logos, recipient names, or commemorative messages. These thoughtful touches transform standard corporate gifts into memorable keepsakes that clients and employees will actually use and appreciate.
Custom Accessories
Animal Safety Tags - Protect your pets with long-lasting engraved identification tags. Unlike printed tags that fade or scratch off, our engraved pet tags remain readable for the life of the tag. We accommodate lengthy phone numbers, multiple contact methods, and medical information when needed, all in durable metals that withstand active pet lifestyles.
Men's Accessories and Gifts - Create memorable groomsmen gifts or Father's Day presents with custom engraved men's accessories. Popular items include stainless steel flasks (personalized with names or wedding dates), money clips (with initials or brief messages), and keychains (featuring coordinates or special dates). These classic items become treasured keepsakes when thoughtfully personalized.
Women's Accessories and Keepsakes - Create beautiful keepsakes with engraving on women's accessories and vanity items. From vintage-inspired compacts to modern jewelry organizers, we add personalization that makes gifts truly special. Popular for bridal parties, milestone birthdays, or "just because" gifts, our engraved ladies' items combine elegance with sentiment.
What Makes Us Albuquerque's Engraving Experts

This professional background means we can evaluate your items properly, select appropriate techniques, and work confidently with valuable jewelry, luxury watches, and sentimental heirlooms. We understand precious metal properties, gemstone settings, and proper handling of delicate items, ensuring your pieces remain safe throughout the engraving process.

Efficient Service
Typical turnaround is 3-5 business days for most engraving projects, ensuring we have adequate time for proper setup, execution, and quality inspection. However, we recognize that life sometimes requires faster service - whether it's a forgotten anniversary, last-minute award ceremony, or unexpected gift need. Reach out about rush options, and we'll work to accommodate your schedule.
Professional Equipment and Versatile Techniques
We utilize both modern laser engraving systems and traditional rotary equipment, allowing us to select the optimal method for each unique item and material. Laser engraving excels for intricate designs, photographs, and hard materials, while rotary engraving provides classic depth and finish on metals. This versatility ensures we can handle anything from micro-engraving on tiny jewelry to bold lettering on large recognition plaques, always choosing the technique that delivers superior results.

Engraving costs vary based on complexity, material, surface area, and technique required, but we're always upfront about pricing trophy engraving albuquerque with no surprise charges.

What Customers Ask About Custom Engraving
How long does engraving take?
Most engraving work is completed within one week of dropping off your item. Simple projects like pet tags or basic jewelry engraving often finish faster, while complex designs or multiple items may take the full timeframe. Need it faster? Contact us about rush options. We accommodate urgent requests whenever possible, understanding that special occasions sometimes arise unexpectedly.
Do you only work on jewelry bought at Fast Fix?
Definitely! The majority of our engraving work is actually performed on items customers bring from elsewhere. We accept family heirlooms, online purchases, gifts, vintage finds - essentially any item suitable for engraving. Our jewelry expertise means we can confidently accept valuable and delicate pieces that standalone engraving shops often refuse, providing professional service regardless of where you obtained your item.
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.
Is engraving permanent? Can it be removed or corrected?
Engraving permanently alters the surface of your item and cannot be erased or removed without potentially damaging the piece. This is precisely why we take extraordinary care to ensure complete accuracy before starting any work. We review your text in writing, verify spelling and punctuation, confirm proper names and dates, and get your approval before proceeding. Our attention to detail and thorough verification process prevents errors. In the extremely rare event of a mistake on our part, we'll work with you to determine the best resolution, which may include refinishing options or, in some cases, replacement depending on the item and circumstances.
How much text can you fit on my item?
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.
