This is where you get to put your love into words, in a secret place, where no one else will ever see it but the one for which it is meant. Get creative, make him laugh, make her cry, make them love you again and again, when they take it off to read once more.
Heirloom Engravers turn private promises into lasting keepsakes. Since 1984, our San Francisco studio has engraved thousands of rings with names, dates, vows, and playful lines that mean everything to the two people who know. We work by hand and with modern tools to give your inscription clarity, balance, and a beautiful finish that endures.
We did a ring once that had a very long message spiraling around the inside, and the recipient called us up afterwards to tell us she cried when she read it, then she said, “Yes!”
And just recently, we engraved an email address inside a ring because he kept losing them. Not romantic, but practical!

Heirloom Engravers did a beautiful job with the bible I took to get embossed with my child's name and date of his first communion. It took a few days to turn around and was able to get it back for the event. Staff and owner are professional and kind. I will definitely go back in the future. Thank you!Posted on Eric GavaletzTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent communication, and high quality results!Posted on I-Jong LinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Heirloom Engravers did a very tasteful job on a series of three watches that I brought to them with custom requests for permanent and funky Latin verbiage. Very professional, quick turnaround, and results were better than I expected -- after adapting some aspects of the designs to their good taste and experience. Update 6/20/2023 Another awesome job, for a more scripty and dressy watch. Still going with the Latin from ol' Horace, thoughPosted on Roberto ArceTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Heirloom engravers were very productive, quality work done in a timely manner. Highly recommend.
