Featured Hand-Engraved Keepsakes and Custom Gifts
A collection of my most cherished projects, from luxury perfume engraving to corporate branding. Every piece shows how I turn everyday objects into lasting memories.
A watch is a timeless gift, and I love making it even more personal. I engraved this beautiful Tissot with a heartfelt message, "Til the end of time," for a bride to give her husband on their wedding day. It’s a joy to be a small part of such a big moment.
There is something so satisfying about watching the engraver glide across a frosted perfume bottle. Here, I am personalizing a gorgeous Armani fragrance with a simple, elegant calligraphy initial. This is one of my favorite ways to turn a luxury gift into a forever keepsake.
My work takes me to the most incredible places. I was so grateful to travel to Mumbai for Flipkart's Glam Up event with The Man Company, where I got to do live perfume engraving for over 140 guests, including creators and celebrities. The energy was just unforgettable.
"Can you engrave in any language?" is a question I get a lot, and the answer is yes. I was so happy to engrave the beautiful Tamil phrase "marakkuma nenjam" (my heart won’t forget) on these Moncler and YSL perfumes. Your language of love is always the most personal.
Looking for a truly unique wedding gift for a couple who loves their coffee? I had the amazing opportunity to engrave this Agaro coffee machine with the couple's monogram and wedding date. It was a challenge I absolutely loved, and the result is one of a kind.
It was an honor to work with Adidas on a special project for their team. I hand engraved 54 of these sleek metal water bottles, each personalized with an employee's name to recognize their hard work. Corporate gifting is about making people feel truly valued.
My engraving isn't just for glass and metal. I love the challenge of working with different textures, like this beautiful wooden cheeseboard. I personalized it with a custom logo for 'thelazychef', and I'm obsessed with how the natural grain of the wood makes the design pop.
About this collection
Each piece you see here was hand-engraved using a rotary tool, not a machine. Whether I am working on a frosted perfume bottle or a stainless steel watch, I treat every surface with care to ensure the script is precise. If you have a specific item you want to personalize, please ensure it is clean and ready, as I need a stable surface to create the calligraphy you see here.
My work is about turning standard items into stories. When I engrave a perfume bottle or a watch, I am carving into the finish to create a permanent, tactile memory. I use gold, silver, or copper wax fills to make the engraving pop against the material, which adds that touch of luxury to the final look.
For wedding gifts, I often work on glassware, watches, and liquor bottles, etching monograms or wedding dates. For corporate clients, like my work with Adidas, I handle bulk engraving on metal water bottles, ensuring each name is consistent and perfectly aligned. My favorite challenges are the unexpected ones, like the Agaro coffee machine or wooden cheeseboards. These materials react differently to the diamond bit, which is why I prefer to inspect the surface before starting.
I am based in Bengaluru but travel across India for live engraving events. If you are planning an event, I can set up a station where guests watch their gifts being personalized in real time. For personal commissions, send me your item, and we can discuss the script, the ink fill, and the final presentation with wax seals and dried florals.
