YES. SOME ITEMS NOT PURCHASED WITH US CAN BE ENGRAVED FOR AN ENGRAVING FEE. THE FEE IS ACCORDING TO THE PRODUCT BEING ENGRAVED AND THE AMOUNT OF ENGRAVING TEXT. FOR BETTER SERVICE, IT IS BEST TO HAVE THE ITEM BROUGHT TO THE OFFICE, AND DISCUSS ENGRAVING WITH ONE OF OUR ENGRAVING SPECIALIST, AS THERE MAY BE LIMITATIONS THAT APPLY. NOT ALL ITEMS ARE MADE WITH MATERIAL THAT CAN BE ENGRAVED. IF THE ITEM CANNOT BE ENGRAVED, A SOLUTION WILL BE GIVEN.
