People love to have personalized possessions. Whether it's a handmade handkerchief with embroidered initials or a wedding band with a romantic inscription, everyone feels special to receive something so personal.

This pendant, engraved by student Ashton Ludden, is a wonderful example of a personal gift. Engravers can create simple, beautiful keepsakes for family, friends, and clients with a simple design of script lettering. With a few short words engraved on a pendant, Ashton's friend Ming now has a personal gift that she will treasure forever.

Consider perfecting your lettering skills on a small key tag such as this one as a gift for your loved ones, especially with Valentine's Day approaching. Although you may not be as satisfied with some of your cuts, your family member will gladly accept your gift, all the while singing your praises and showing off your work.
