Grimes Engravers was established in Cardiff in 1947. Three generations later we’re still a small family workshop. You deal directly with the people doing the engraving.
We work Monday to Friday from a private workshop, so we can’t take visits or collections. Everything is arranged by email: we send a quote within 24 hours, then a proof, and your order is ready 10–14 working days after you approve it.
Proof first
You approve the layout before we engrave.
Your logo
Send it as a PDF, EPS or SVG and we set it up for engraving.
