Illustration onlyEngraved metal (hip flask, tankard, pen): a simple drawing to help you picture short or long wording — not a seller’s product, font or layout. Real items vary, so always check the seller’s own preview or proof. What you type isn’t stored.
About this idea
Hand-stamped metal bookmarks are made letter by letter with steel punches, so the spacing has a lovely hand-made wobble. Copper is a 7th anniversary material on Debrett’s list (and the 9th on the Pears list); brass and aluminium versions exist too.
Who it suits
Readers, teachers and anniversary couples.
Ordering in time
Hand-stamping is done to order and some makers batch orders — check the dispatch time.
Before you order
- Expect slight variation in letter spacing — that’s hand-stamping.
- Short words stamp best.
- Copper darkens over time; ask how to clean it.
