What is the difference between hand stamped and precision stamped?

Hand stamping is achieved with the use of a hammer, stamping each letter, one letter at a time. It creates impressions in the metal and gives a hand made, rustic look, it isn't always perfectly aligned. Upper or lower case is available, we use a 1.5mm font size on all our pieces for hand stamping. Precision stamping uses technology which also results in a groove/impression in the metal. With the use of technology however, it results in a slightly more symmetrical/aligned finish. It also enables us to fit a few more characters on each piece if required, and to offer various fonts and graphics.  We currently offer the following stamping options (see samples of each). Each of the fonts are of course available in both upper and lower case.

TO DARKEN OR NOT TO DARKEN??

You can choose to have your letters/numbers darkened or not. All of the pictures above have the letters darkened. If you look through the gallery, there are examples of both for you to see. The darkening of the letters makes the stamping stand out better, easier to read. Some people however prefer the stamping to be a little more subtle so choose to have it undarkened. Here are some examples for you.
