Quality work, very pleased!! Was able to work around ridges and maintain quality other engravers didn't feel they were capable of.

I had an idea that I wanted to gift custom brass covered journals to some friends. Dan brought my idea to life and made the journals more beautiful and special than I had imagined. His craftsmanship and creativity are amazing. I recommend him to anyone!

As far as communication skills, Adeptus Argentus truly knows how to come through and respond to your needs in a jiffy. My intense project called for crazy questions and someone with a professional patient attitude to respond. When I lacked grace the most, I was treated with kindness, respect, and dignity. I wasn’t able to mail my project due to fast approaching deadline and my location in the west coast. But I totally would’ve and would trust that the communication skills matched or even exceeded the engraving skills needed. Thank you for being awesome!!

I had a very specific image I wanted engraved on a ring I had bought as a gift. I searched everywhere for someone that could help but only found engravers that would do a specific style and only lettering. When I found Dan I was so relieved! He’s so intentional with helping you get exactly what you’re imagining/hoping for the piece to look like. If I ever have another jewelry item I want made or edited, I will absolutely be going back to Dan.

He engraved a date on a military challenger coin I've carried around for a while. It was the dates I was in the Navy 1967-1971. I'm very patriotic and it meant alot to me.
