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.
