Each plaque is individually coated with a lacquer-based paint to act as a resist. The words are scratched through the paint, and the little plaque is suspended in a vat of ferric nitrate. This etches the exposed areas. They stay in the bath for a couple hours, come out, get neutralized and the paint sanded off. All edges and corners are then rounded, for comfort

Sometimes, we just can't resist a very neat ribbon, even if it is a bit more expensive. If you'd like your own word(s) on one of these, here's your spot. Prices here are for a longtail on your chosen ribbon. Because these are limited, it will occasionally happen that we run out of one of these ribbons- we will keep the list as up to date as possible, and if your chosen ribbon is gone, we will let you know as quickly as is possible. Please remember that it takes as much as a full week to make your custom piece. Learn More
