Jewelry Engraving Expertise
Wedding Bands and Engagement Rings - Create one-of-a-kind wedding bands with meaningful inscriptions that you'll treasure forever. Whether you want classic date and initial combinations or unique symbols and longer messages, our master jewelers execute flawless engraving on all ring materials including precious metals and contemporary alternatives like tungsten and titanium.
Necklaces and Accessories - Create personalized treasures with names, dates, special messages, or custom designs engraved on your favorite jewelry pieces. Whether you're commemorating a birth, celebrating an achievement, or honoring a loved one's memory, our precision engraving adds sentiment and value to bracelets, pendants, lockets, and charm jewelry.
Keepsake Pieces - Lockets and memorial jewelry hold special significance, often containing photos or mementos of loved ones. We provide delicate engraving on these small, precious surfaces - adding names, dates, or brief meaningful phrases that honor cherished memories. Our jewelers use specialized techniques for ultra-fine engraving that preserves the beauty and integrity of vintage and heirloom pieces.
Watch Engraving by Expert Watchmakers
Given our watchmaking background and years of timepiece repair experience, we're the trusted choice for watch engraving in Albuquerque. Our technicians properly disassemble cases, execute precise engraving using appropriate techniques for each material, and professionally reassemble watches ensuring water resistance ratings remain intact.
Back of Watch Customization - Commemorate special occasions with professional caseback engraving. This hidden personalization makes watches truly unique - visible only when the watch is removed, creating an intimate connection between the wearer and the sentiment. We engrave retirement dates, service milestones, championship victories, or heartfelt messages, then expertly reseal cases to factory specifications.
Premium Watch Customization - We understand the significant value of Rolex, Omega, TAG Heuer, Breitling, and other prestigious watch brands. Our jewelers take extraordinary precautions when engraving luxury timepieces, using specialized techniques and equipment designed for high-value watches. We've successfully personalized hundreds of luxury watches for Albuquerque customers, from vintage Submariners to modern Seamasters, always maintaining the watch's integrity and value.
Corporate Engraving and Recognition Awards
Fast Fix provides professional engraving services for Albuquerque businesses, schools, sports leagues, and organizations. From individual trophies to bulk award orders, we deliver crisp, professional engraving that reflects well on your organization. Our turnaround times accommodate even tight award ceremony deadlines, and we offer competitive pricing for volume orders.
Corporate Presents - Make lasting impressions with personalized corporate gifts. We engrave business card holders, pen sets, desk clocks, paperweights, and other executive accessories with company logos, recipient names, or commemorative messages. These thoughtful touches transform standard corporate gifts into memorable keepsakes that clients and employees will actually use and appreciate.
Memorable Personalization
Animal Safety Tags - Protect your pets with long-lasting engraved identification tags. Unlike printed tags that fade or scratch off, our engraved pet tags remain readable for the life of the tag. We accommodate lengthy phone numbers, multiple contact methods, and medical information when needed, all in durable metals that withstand active pet lifestyles.
Personalized Groomsmen Gifts - Create memorable groomsmen gifts or Father's Day presents with custom engraved men's accessories. Popular items include stainless steel flasks (personalized with names or wedding dates), money clips (with initials or brief messages), and keychains (featuring coordinates or special dates). These classic items become treasured keepsakes when thoughtfully personalized.
Jewelry Boxes, Compacts, and Perfume Bottles - Design unique feminine gifts with custom engraving on personal treasures. Whether personalizing a music jewelry box for a daughter, engraving a compact for a bridesmaid, or customizing a perfume bottle for a milestone celebration, our refined approach ensures beautifully executed results that recipients will cherish.
The Fast Fix Advantage
Master Jeweler Expertise You Can Trust
What makes Fast Fix different? Our engraving is backed by master jeweler training and watchmaking certification. Unlike standalone engraving shops staffed by machine operators, our craftsmen bring comprehensive jewelry knowledge to every project. We assess each item individually, determine the safest approach, and execute engraving with precision that reflects decades of professional experience.
Easy Access and Free Parking
Visit us at the popular Coronado Center shopping mall at 6600 Menaul Blvd NE, where we've served Albuquerque residents and built our reputation through hundreds of satisfied customers. Free parking, convenient mall hours, and a comfortable showroom make it easy to drop off items, discuss your vision with knowledgeable staff, and pick up completed pieces. Our central Albuquerque location is accessible from all parts of the metro area, including Rio Rancho, the Northeast Heights, and the Westside.
Efficient Service
Most engraving projects are completed in 3-5 business days, balancing speed with the careful attention your items deserve. Unlike shops that rush through work, we take time to ensure perfect execution while still delivering prompt service. Need faster turnaround? Call us at (505) 855-9191 to inquire about rush service availability. We often accommodate urgent requests for special occasions, last-minute gifts, or time-sensitive corporate needs when possible.
State-of-the-Art Tools
Combining state-of-the-art laser technology with time-tested rotary and hand techniques, we offer the most versatile engraving services in Albuquerque. Different projects require different approaches - delicate jewelry may need laser precision, traditional trophies look best with rotary depth, and certain metals respond better to specific methods. Our equipment investment and technical knowledge ensure we always use the right tool for exceptional results.
Fair Rates
Get clear pricing upfront with no hidden fees or unexpected charges. We quote your project after examining the item, discussing your design requirements, and determining the appropriate technique. Factors affecting cost include engraving length, complexity, material hardness, and surface accessibility, but we explain everything clearly before starting work. Our transparent approach means you make informed decisions with complete confidence.
What Customers Ask About Custom Engraving
How long does engraving take?
Standard engraving projects take 3-5 business days from drop-off to completion, though simpler work may be ready sooner. This timeframe allows proper setup, read more careful execution, and thorough quality inspection. Rush service may be available for time-sensitive gifts or urgent corporate needs - call us at (505) 855-9191 to discuss your specific timeline and check availability for expedited processing.
Do you only work on jewelry bought at Fast Fix?
Absolutely! We welcome and encourage outside items for engraving. Whether it's a treasured family heirloom, an online purchase, a gift from elsewhere, or vintage jewelry passed down through generations, we're equipped and experienced to personalize it professionally. In fact, many customers specifically seek us out because our jewelry expertise allows us to safely work with valuable pieces that other shops won't accept. Bring us anything that needs personalization - if it can be engraved, we can handle it.
What text options do you offer?
We offer an extensive selection of fonts including classic serif styles, modern sans-serif lettering, elegant cursive scripts, traditional block text, and decorative specialty fonts. When you visit our Coronado Center showroom, we'll show you font samples and help you select styles that complement your item and match your vision. We can also match specific fonts you provide or recreate particular typefaces when you have something specific in mind. Letter size and style selection considers both aesthetics and practicality - some fonts are more legible at small sizes, while others shine in larger applications.
What if I make a mistake in my text?
Engraving creates permanent marks that cannot simply be removed, making accuracy critical. We prevent mistakes through multiple verification steps: you provide text in writing, we confirm every detail verbally, you review a proof or mockup when appropriate, and we verify once more before engraving. This systematic approach has resulted in an excellent accuracy record over our years serving Albuquerque. Should the extremely unlikely happen and we make an error, we'll take responsibility and work toward a fair resolution.
How much text can you fit on my item?
Text capacity depends on your item's size, the surface area available, and your preferred letter size. Generally, wedding bands accommodate 15-30 characters comfortably (about 2-3 short copyright or initials plus a date), watch case backs handle 30-50 characters (2-3 lines of text), and larger items like flasks or plaques can fit considerably more. We'll assess your specific item during consultation and recommend appropriate text length for optimal legibility and appearance. Remember, sometimes less is more - concise, meaningful text often creates more elegant results than cramming maximum characters into available space.
