The Cutting Service

Make your design come to life with this custom cutting service. Please check your design with us first and we will give you a quote for the complexity. This covers a few simple cuttings, up to half an hour's work in setting up the laser and positioning the image. You can include engraving here.

Each piece of metal sent to us MUST be marked with the order number and preferably Sharpie marked where you'd like it cut. We can use our stock metals on request by quotation.

Stock images available, please take any of my UNWATERMARKED images!

Please get in touch if you would like to submit multiple pieces at once on a monthly basis so we can give you a spreadsheet and a discounted rate. We will not check, proof or send proof photos* so please ensure information is accurate before ordering.

How to Make It Yours

1. Add your reference It could be a description of the image or your own client's order number

2. Upload image Please make sure it's correct first.

3. Item and Metal  We can engrave and cut most metals and jewellery items but if unsure, please check. Anything worth over £100 please let us know and choose Special Delivery as your return option.

4. Notes Just tell us what you need. Items are sent back unfinished, so you will need to remove the burr. We'll send back as much of the extra metal as possible but some small fragments may be lost in the process.

How It Works

1. Order: Please pay and we will provide the address, you must mark your batch with our KS order number and each piece needs to be marked with its own order number.
2. We get to work: once the piece is received by us, we work within our current turnaround time (see our FAQs and Terms of Service) 
   
3. It comes to you: economically but safely shipped, ready to turn into a piece of wearable art for your clients

Extra Terms and Conditions

We are insured to work with jewellery and as any work done by humans there may be small errors or flaws. If this happens, we will do our best to fix it or help repair the piece. We do not offer replacement or consequential loss payments. 

I try to reduce complexity where possible when cutting my own items, let me know if you give permission to alter the file at all. 

Nikki’s Tip: I like to offer clients' own pets and handprints as cutout and engrave images. For that, I'll add a boarder around the image. Please order this and image engraving here. You might want to include a text engraving on the back or ask me to solder on a bezel cup to include their pet's ashes.

*Proof photos: We don't offer these because it means holding up the line. If you require a specific position then please submit your engraving as an image and place it within the confines of the piece on the image

Tutorials and Learning

You can follow our tutorials to learn how to prepare your client’s inclusions and build your layers properly. Here is my free course to learn keepsake jewellery.

Upselling

We recommend you buy a compatible necklace setting, for example a small necklace setting (for example) to accompany any ring, bead or necklae. Once you've made the keepsake, you can offer to make a necklace for a small extra charge (£30 or so). Around half of your customers will take you up on this.

Upsell accessories, such as a ring holder necklace along with any ring, especially for clients who work with their hands or need to take their ring off during the day.
