High-contrast images with clear subject definition reproduce most accurately on metal. Portraits, silhouettes, and line-based artwork tend to transfer cleanly. Bring your image in, our team will assess it and tell you honestly what level of detail the surface can hold.

Gold, silver, platinum, and stainless steel are all suitable for picture etching. Surface finish, polished, brushed, or matte, affects how the image reads, and our craftsmen will recommend the finish that best suits your chosen photograph.

Yes. Interior locket surfaces are one of our most requested picture-etching applications. The curved interior requires precise depth control to keep detail consistent across the full image, something our in-store craftsmen handle directly.
