Preparing the writing
- Photograph or scan the writing flat, in good light and without shadows.
- Dark ink on plain paper gives the clearest result.
- Short words, names or dates work better than full sentences.
- Crop to just the writing you want.
What to expect
Lines are rebuilt as solid metal strokes with a minimum thickness that can be cast and polished. Very thin pen lines are thickened, and letters are kept connected so the piece stays one strong body.
Pendant or ring?
A pendant can carry a word or a short line in the writer’s own hand. On a ring, a signature or initials fit on the top or along the band.
Personal writing
Handwriting can be personal. Your design stays private; if you ever share it publicly with the original note, Jewelborn asks for separate permission, and you should have the writer’s consent.
Questions and answers
Can you correct a spelling mistake in the original?
Tell us in your note; the design follows your instructions. Always check the spelling on the approval page, where you confirm it before ordering.
How much text fits?
As a rule of thumb, one to three short words on a pendant and a signature or initials on a ring. We’ll tell you if the text needs shortening to stay legible.
