A handwriting pendant preserves a message written by the person who mattered most. Whether it's a signature, a short note or a few handwritten words, we reproduce it as faithfully as possible from the original.
A photograph or scan of handwriting in dark ink. White or light paper gives the clearest result, but lined paper or a similar ruled surface also works well, as long as there is enough contrast between the ink and the page. A single line, a short phrase, or a signature all work well. The original document is not required — a photograph of a card, letter, or note is sufficient. The writing is rendered as closely as possible to the source — we do not alter the letterforms or style.
Dark ink with clear contrast against the page — including lined or ruled paper · A signature, a short phrase, or a single line · A photograph of a card, letter, envelope, or any document · Faded handwriting — submit it and we assess · Handwriting on slightly coloured paper — increase contrast in your phone's photo editor before uploading
Typed or printed text — must be actual handwriting · Very low contrast where ink and paper cannot be distinguished · Extremely small writing that cannot be legibly engraved at pendant scale · A digital font designed to look like handwriting

The writing is on lined paper.
That's fine — lined paper is accepted, as long as the ink contrasts clearly with the page. Photograph it and submit; we'll assess it before production.
The writing is on coloured paper or a card.
Photograph it and submit. Increasing contrast in your phone's photo edit settings before uploading helps significantly. We assess the result before production.
I only have faded handwriting.
Photograph it in good light and submit. Faded handwriting often engraves beautifully. We will contact you before production if there is any concern.
The handwriting is very small.
Submit it. We assess legibility at pendant scale before production and will advise if a different sample would give a better result.
