Before you finalize your message, here are a few tips to keep in mind:
1. Know Your Space
The size of the pendant sets the tone. Tiny bar necklaces might only hold 10-15 characters. A heart locket? Maybe more. If you are unsure, just ask. Van Adams Jewelers is happy to help you choose what fits best.
2. Pick the Right Font
The script font looks soft and romantic. A bold font is clear and modern. Go with what fits your style. You do not want your love note to look like a license plate.
3. Keep It Legible
It is tempting to pack in everything, but less is often more (even if you are a poet at heart). Make sure whoever reads it gets the message.
4. Double Check Spelling
You would be surprised how many people forget to proofread. One wrong letter and “Forever Yours” becomes "Forever Yours.” A little extra care goes a long way.
5. Ask for Guidance
Our friendly team at Van Adams Jewelers in Snellville, GA is here to make the process simple. Whether you know what you want or need a bit of help, we walk you through the engraving step by step.
