How ordering works
- Choose your jewellery and check its materials, measurements and available engraving options.
- Select the engraving type for each available side or charm.
- Upload your image or enter your text in the matching field. Make the placement clear for designs with multiple engraving areas.
- Check your selections and any additional charges before adding your jewellery to the basket.
What finished engraving looks like
Your image is engraved into the metal rather than printed in colour. The result has a subtle, light-catching appearance that changes with the lighting and viewing angle. An online preview can help illustrate cropping and placement, but it cannot reproduce the reflective appearance of the finished jewellery.
Personal preparation, drawing on photography experience
Gemz by Emz has been creating personalised jewellery since 2011. Founder Emma brings her professional photography and photo-editing background to preparing images for engraving. Photographs and prints vary, so the clearest original file is always the best starting point. Older or faded images can sometimes be improved; missing detail cannot always be recovered.
Not sure whether your image is suitable?
Email your image to info@gemzbyemz.co.uk for a free suitability check before ordering. You do not need to place an order first.
Do I need to post my original?
You can upload a digital image of your photograph, handwriting or print. Keep treasured originals safely at home. The individual guides explain how to photograph paper originals.
Can I use a phone photograph?
Yes. A clear phone photograph may be suitable. Focus, lighting and visible detail matter more than the device used. Send the original file where possible rather than a compressed thumbnail.
Can each charm have a different engraving?
Where the product offers multiple engraving areas, follow the upload fields and label your images or notes clearly. Check the individual product page for the combinations offered.
