Project description
My partner and I are getting married this autumn, and I want to order a set of engraved wine glasses (or goblets) as a keepsake for ourselves, plus a couple of matching sets for our parents. I need a skilled glass engraver who can take our names, wedding date, and a simple monogram and turn them into an elegant, permanent design etched directly into the glass surface.
This is specifically a glass engraving project, not wood carving, not acrylic cutting, and not a house-number or plaque job. I need someone experienced with curved glass surfaces: how deep to cut so the design stays visible without weakening the glass, and how to keep lettering crisp and evenly spaced around a goblet stem or the bowl of a wine glass. I already have the wording and a rough idea of the monogram style — a thin classic script rather than bold blocky letters — but I am open to suggestions on layout and font pairing.
The budget covers a set of six glasses: two goblets for the two of us and four smaller wine glasses for close family. Before any glass is actually cut I would like to see a digital proof or mockup of the design, since these pieces are meant to last for years and cannot be redone if something goes wrong. Please share examples of your previous glass engraving work, ideally including goblets or stemware, along with your proofing process and an estimated turnaround time.
Requirements:
— Genuine glass engraving on wine glasses or goblets, not wood, acrylic, or other materials
— Set of six glasses with names, wedding date, and a matching monogram
— Digital proof or mockup approved before any cutting begins
— Even, legible lettering suited to a curved glass surface
— Secure packaging for fragile glassware during shipping
— Portfolio examples of prior stemware or goblet engraving required
