We loved creating this wine glass engraving for a special birthday. The wine glass really made the birthday girl giggle with delight! She turned 60 years old. A Diamond Jubilee is a sixtieth anniversary of an event such as a date of birth. The engraved wine glass was a special representation and commemoration of this special birthday event and something she could keep and use over and over again without worrying the engraving would wear off. That’s why wine glass engraving, as opposed to etching, is much more durable and lasts a long time.
We created a special wine glass engraving design for a gentleman who wanted to give his mother a very special 60th birthday gift. He wanted a diamond in the middle and the words “Diamond Jubilee” included in the design. The picture above is what we came up with.
Although the birthday party was more than 2 months away, we created the glass early for the actual day of her birthday. The client wanted to present the engraved wine glass to her in private before the party to make the gift extra special. We engraved two glasses exactly the same. The glass itself was from Pottery Barn in North Point Mall which is where the client also works. (We have done Pop-Up Engraving Events at Pottery Barn in the past and will be doing more in the future. Check our on-site engraving events schedule for more Pottery Barn events coming up for weddings and the holidays.)
Wine glass engraving is a little tricky because some wine glasses are made with very thin glass while some are made with thicker glass. It’s best for us to use a wine glass with thicker glass in order for it not to shatter under the pressure of the drill. We actually had to throw our first glass away because of a hairline crack that showed up during the engraving. The next time around, we adjusted our pressure and it turned out just right. Wine glass engraving can scare a lot of seasoned engravers, but not our team!
The Diamond Jubliee wine glass was a huge hit and the birthday girl is still enjoying it well after her special day! She’ll be using these glasses to toast her guests at her birthday party this month.
