Personalised keepsakes by Joyly
Why steel

Ink fades. Steel endures.

Most personalised photo gifts are printed onto a surface. Yours is engraved into solid 2mm stainless steel, so the photo becomes part of the metal itself.

No fading

Engraved, not printed. Sunlight cannot bleach it away.

No peeling

No coating or laminate to lift, bubble or split.

No yellowing

Steel does not age the way paper and canvas do.

Built for generations

Laser-engraved, hand-finished, made to be passed on.

Three sizes. One forever.

Getting the sharpest engraving.

  • Very dark, backlit or low-light photos

Made by a person

Finished by hand, and it shows.

The engraving is done by laser, which is what gives the detail its accuracy. Everything after that is done by hand. The plate is cut from a full sheet, the edges are worked back, the surface is cleaned, and the piece is checked under a light before it goes into its box.

So no two are quite identical, and we rather like that.

What we would never send you is a piece with a scratch across the image, a mark you can catch a fingernail on, or an engraving that has not come out cleanly. If one falls short, we simply make it again.
