Is it worth it to have a hand engraved Tiffany piece or machine engraved?

I'm a clueless boyfriend looking to purchase a Tiffany bracelet and charm for my girlfriend. I have everything picked out, but I see I can either have it hand engraved or machine. I've learned that the hand engraved is guarenteed to last a lifetime, but I'm not sure if its just a ploy to get more money. I have no problem spending more money, I'm not cheap, but some feedback on whether or not its worth it would be appreciated. Thanks|||hand engraving is nice, but it takes a long time is more expensive. i personally have all of my tiffanys jewelry machine engraved, and it works out just fine. the tiffany jewelers say that eventually machine engraving will wear off, but i think thats only with daily wear for several years.


im sure your girlfriend will love the gift regardless.


p.s. unless your girlfriend is a jewelry expert, she probably wont even be able to tell the difference between hand engraving and machine engraving. the only difference is that hand engraving is deeper set so theres no risk of it wearing off.|||Try to visit http://www.hflaser.com, I hope it helps.

|||It would be worth it, plus it's more personal. I mean I know it seems silly because if my boyfriend gave me something like that I wouldn't care either way but I feel like getting it machine engraved for some reason just isn't as personal. |||i think you should go with hand graved because it shows the love the love that was put in to make it. i don't think it's a guarantee that either one will last forever no matter who made it, it will have to break at one point.|||It would be worth it. It will make her feel really special.


You must be such a nice boyfriend! Lucky her!|||Idk maybe machine, but by hand is more by the heart.


Which ever way it won't make a "boo boo"
