Personal Engraving – Make It Truly Yours
Engraving transforms this pen into a meaningful personal gift. Each pen is set up by hand to ensure the best placement of your engraving.

Engraving Guidance: Shorter text gives the clearest and most elegant result.
Engraving on wooden pens appears as a rich black finish. On Irish Bog Oak, it appears as a refined black-on-black finish for a more understated result.
We also ask whether the recipient is right or left-handed so the engraving sits correctly when the pen is held and used.
Special Characters: If required, place your order and email your engraving details to engraving@irishpens.ie
Please note: Engraved pens are personalised items and are non-returnable.
