Can I Personalize a Piece of Nambé That I Already Own?
What Does It Mean to Personalize an Item?
Personalization is the process of adding your own words or designs to your Nambé purchase, such as a monogram, a date, or a brief message that makes your gift absolutely memorable.
Most Nambé Alloy and Nambé Crystal items can be personalized. Our crystal items are personalized through a process called laser etching, which produces a result very similar to sandblasting. We create a high resolution image of your message and turn it over to our personalization experts, who use a computerized laser to create your message onto the surface of your Nambé purchase. For our Nambé Alloy products, the laser etch process is followed by sandblasting for impressively sharp edges.

Font Styles
We offer a choice of seven font styles:
Choose the font that best represents the message you're conveying. For a more elegant occasion, such as a wedding, you may want to choose Script MT Bold or Signet Roundhand. To personalize gifts for colleagues and business associates, you might instead choose something formal, such as Monotype Corsiva for a female business associate and Garamond for a male For a baby gift, you might try CG Times.
In addition to a choice of fonts, for Nambé Alloy items we offer a choice of colors. Choose between a more traditional "frost" or elegant black; the latter is achieved through a chemical molecular reaction that is painted onto the metal and laser etched. Either is permanent and can only be removed by having the items repolished by our skilled craftsmen.
