Monogram Engraving

Monogram Engraving in San Francisco, CA

Every piece Heirloom Engravers touches carries a story. We specialize in monogram engraving in San Francisco, CA, turning simple items into something with meaning. Whether it’s a wedding gift, a keepsake, or a personal item, we engrave initials by hand with care and purpose. No lasers. No shortcuts. Just deep, clean lines that last.

You can choose from two classic styles:

Block Lettering – Sharp, bold, and timeless

Script Lettering – Smooth, graceful, and personal

Some items almost ask for one style over the other. A bold stainless-steel lighter fits block letters beautifully. A silver compact mirror may shine with a soft script. We help you decide, making sure it fits the item and your expectations.

We don’t hand your item back until it’s perfectly centered, deeply engraved, and spotless. You’ll receive it ready to gift – no fingerprints, no smudges, no worries. When it comes to monogram engraving in San Francisco, CA, we make sure each letter stands out with meaning and care. Every piece we work on becomes a reflection of the person it’s meant for.

Monogram

Pay attention, this is important and there’s a test! A monogram is a person’s initials engraved with the last name in the middle and it’s larger than the other two initials. These pages from our original Burgundy Book show our most popular Monogram styles, but you can use nearly every font we have as a monogram, so you are not limited to what you see here.

Monograms That Mean More Than Just Initials

A monogram doesn’t just show who something belongs to; it also indicates thought. It makes a flask, a pen, or a jewelry box feel like it was always meant for one person. That’s why people choose personalized monogram engraving in San Francisco, CA, for moments that matter. It’s a small touch that leaves a lasting impression.

We use only tried-and-true methods. Each tool in our hands has a purpose, and each style of engraving has its place. No machines guessing placements. No laser burns. Only hands that understand the weight of each item and how it should be engraved.

Diamond-drag engraving – Perfect for metal items like pens or charms

Rotary engraving – Ideal for hard surfaces such as crystal or stone

Pantograph engraving – A method that lets us guide by hand for exact detail
