The engraving studio
Choose an award, type the inscription and see it set in our engraving type, at true proportions. Then order with a deposit or send it to the team as a proof request.
Inside the engraving room
Three machines, two pairs of eyes, one rule.
Our sandblast cabinet handles crystal and glass, a fibre laser etches brass and steel, and a CO2 laser works walnut and leather. The rule is simple: nothing is engraved until two people have read it aloud against your list.
We keep a library of Nigerian name spellings and diacritics, built from eight years of awards nights. If a name looks unusual, we ask rather than guess.
Writing a good inscription
Keep it to four lines
Title, name, occasion and company. Anything more gets small and hard to read from a stage.
Use the name people use
Check whether your winner prefers a double surname, a title, or a first name only.
Date it simply
A year, or month and year. Full dates rarely look good on crystal.
Proof before you pay
Your deposit reserves the slot. Final engraving waits for your written approval.
Questions
About engraving
Is the preview exact?
It shows true proportions and line breaks, so you can judge length and balance. The final proof from our team uses the exact engraving typefaces and sizes.
Can I engrave Yoruba or Igbo tone marks?
Yes. Our engraving type supports tone marks and underdots. Type them here, and we check them again on the proof.
What if a winner changes on the night?
For galas we bring blank spares and a portable laser for plates. Crystal cannot be re-engraved on site, so we suggest one spare per category.
