How we do engraving

Examples of engraved wind sails. The sail is the piece of the chime (either metal or wood) hanging at the bottom that catches the wind. We do not engrave the tubes or the cap (also called the crown or dome) of the chimes.

Laser engraving is available for all wind chimes we sell!

Why Engrave?

Because engraved wind chimes make wonderful gifts for any occasion. Think of them as a way to convey your message to the recipient all the time—not just when they open the card or have the flowers delivered. How lovely to receive an engraved chime as a housewarming, anniversary, thank you or even memorial gift! For just a little extra ($10.00), your personalized note is always there.

How does it work?

A professional engraver sets up your personalized message to fit the wind sail of the chime that you order. On all chimes except the Bells of Vienna chime, the engraving will appear horizontally on the sail. Because of the shape of the Bells of Vienna sail, the engraving is done vertically on the sail .

The engraver will break up the lines of text as needed. Most times, this text break occurs naturally (example: names are on line one, dates are on line two), but the customer can always request a certain format to the text. Special requests are accommodated at no additional cost. If for some reason, the special request cannot be accommodated, we will contact you to discuss it before engraving the chime.

All engraving is done in Lucida Handwriting  font (shown on these examples). This is a strong font—elegant, yet bold enough to stand up to engraving. If you would like a different font, we can easily accommodate that special request.

What If My Friends or Family Don't Like It?

Rest assured, most folks love getting an engraved gift! But please know that because an engraved chime is a custom, personalized gift, it cannot be returned. If the gift recipient, however, would prefer a blank wind sail, they can simply call us (877-293-6395) to arrange the details.

Stumped for a Great Idea to Engrave?

Just call us! We've engraved many chimes for many occasions and can make several suggestions based on the sentiment you'd like to convey in your situation.
