Your words.
Their portrait.
A likeness composed entirely from the words you choose — vows, lyrics, a eulogy, a lullaby — laser-engraved at gallery resolution into clear acrylic or anodised black steel.
Two ways to hold the same words
Each plate is engraved from the very same file — what changes is how the light finds it.
Optical-clear 5mm acrylic. Your words frost into the surface; light does the rest.
Matte black anodised stainless steel. The laser lifts the black to bright silver beneath — crisp, deep, permanent.
The Photograph 7″×5″
Sometimes you don't want the photograph turned into anything. You just want it to last.
The picture itself, engraved in continuous grayscale into black anodised steel — the laser lifts the coating to bright metal, tone by tone. No text conversion, no words to choose. Archival, fingerprint-resistant, and finished to the same standard as every piece we make.
“Move close enough and the picture dissolves — it was only ever her handwriting, set eighty thousand times.”
Three quiet steps
The photograph
Upload the picture that matters. Our studio isolates the sitter and composes the plate to flatter them — nothing is ever cropped away.
The words
Type or upload the text only you would choose. It repeats across the portrait — tens of thousands of settings of the words that mean something.
The proof
Within minutes you see true proofs of both materials. Nothing is engraved until you approve what you see.
For everyone who should have one
Families at weddings, brothers at memorials, godparents at christenings — additional pieces in the same order carry increasingly kind pricing.

The keyring
The very same portrait, rendered to a pocket piece on the same plate material — treasured at funerals, births and weddings. £12 each; three or more at £10.
Start with the portraitBring a loupe to it
Every letter is a tenth of a millimetre. Add premium presentation packaging and a jeweller's loupe, and the portrait stops being an image of them and becomes the sentence you wrote — readable, word by word.
