Going further with our products

Vaughtons Civic offer a range of services for your civic and societal regalia, including extending the life of your products both visually and practically; offering valuations, and making each product unique through engraving and personalisation.

Engraving

At Vaughtons Civic we offer many styles of engraving to complement our customer’s needs. We engrave past and current officer’s names onto slide bars for ribbons, short ribbons with top bars and presentation dates and names onto the reverse of jewels and medals alike. Our stock jewels and medals can also be engraved with your association’s crest and or logo offering a more cost-effective option to die struck and hand painted manufacturing methods. We also engrave onto salvers.

There are various engraving methods we offer:

Machine Engraving uses our computer engraving system, allowing us to offer diamond tipped engraving (Shallow engraving) and milled engraving (deeper engraving). Alongside text, we can also produce engraved logos and crests for medals and jewels.

Hand engraving is the traditional method of fine engraving carried out by our master craftsmen using hand cutting tools. This style of engraving has been the preferred method on many of our prestigious awards, or work that requires intricacy.

Block engraving using sans or serifed fonts to engrave slide bars, small medals and the reverse of jewels and badges. Double cut engraving is a more decorative form of engraving for large centres, larger medals and jewels.

Deep engraving drills deeper into the surface for more clarity. Plated after engraving. We also offer engraving plus either a wax fill, to give colour and definition or an enamel fill which uses vitreous enamel (glass enamel) filled for colour, definition and longevity.

Valuations

At Vaughtons Civic, we offer a service that provides our customers with valuations to show the manufacturing costs should items be lost, stolen or damaged. Our valuations do not consider historical or sentimental value, but purely what the manufacturing costs would be if items needed to be replaced. This service is used quite often for insurance purposes, and we can come to your premises to evaluate all items, meaning items do not need to be transported. For further information and charges, please do contact us.
