Circle Monogram

  • Initial monograms are normally engraved with the Last initial in the center, the first initial on the left of it and the middle initial on the right. For example: if the name were "Kevin Mathew Jones" your inscription would be entered as KJM. Your monogram will be engraved exactly in the order you specify in the inscription field for the item.
  • Circle Monograms are large; they require two lines to engrave.
  • Dates can be engraved under your Circle Monogram if room is available, but ONLY when the engraving area for the item allows for the additional engraving (typically an item with 3 or more lines of engraving space). The date will be engraved in Double Line Century. This choice is only available on items with three or more lines of space to engrave on.
  • Circle Monograms look best engraved on items for men, on larger items, flasks, money clips, some keepsake boxes and some key rings.

Double Line Century

  • If engraving names, Double Line Century looks very nice in ALL CAPS.
  • If engraving initials, ALL CAPS is the best choice.
  • Double Line Century is a good all around choice for most items, pens, mugs, steins, money clips, key rings, plaques and some frames.

Double Line Script

  • Double Line Script has a sharp slant to it. It works well for engraving names and longer inscriptions. However, the slant can cause the inscription to look off center if the inscription is very short, such as when engraving just a single initial on an item. For a single initial, we recommend using either our Upright Script or a single character from the InterLocking Monogram copy style instead.
  • If engraving names, Double Line Script looks best in an "Uppercase / Lowercase" format. In this format names begin with an uppercase letter and all other letters are done in lowercase (for example: Jane). We engrave in this fashion, unless the experienced judgment of our engraver dictates otherwise.
  • If engraving initials, Double Line Script will be engraved in all capital lettering.
  • Double Line Script looks best engraved on feminine gift items, trinket and jewelry boxes, key rings, some frames and name plates for ladies gifts.
