The Most Common Mistake People Make Ordering Personalized Jewelry

Across personalized and engraved gifts generally, spelling errors, wrong dates, and incorrect names are the single largest source of problems — one industry estimate puts it at nearly 60% of all personalized-gift issues, almost all of them avoidable with one extra check before an order is confirmed.

That's exactly why every name on this site gets checked against its hieroglyph translation by a real person before anything goes into production — not an automated approval, an actual verification step. If something looks off, you'll hear about it before your piece is cast, not after.

The one thing worth doing on your end: type the name exactly as you want it to appear, double-check it once before submitting, and if it's a gift, confirm the spelling with whoever's giving you the name — "Katherine" and "Catherine" produce genuinely different pieces.
