All of our custom jewelry are engraved using the latest laser engraving technology. The engraving color can vary slightly depending on the jewelry of your choice. The color of the engraving on the matte cuffs will be black/dark grey. The engraving on our shiny jewelry: necklaces, shiny cuffs, rings and other bracelets will be lighter and have grey tones. Matte black jewelry will have white/grey engraving.The engraving is more visible on the shiny jewellery thanks to the lighter engraving. The grey engraving is the best way to make the text stand out. Because of the shiny surface, darker engravings would be unreadable in most lightning conditions.
