✒️ How to Send Your Handwriting

Creating your custom engraving is simple:

1. Write or Draw: Take a crisp, blank piece of white unlined paper and write your message or draw your design using a dark pen. We recommend 15 words maximum for the clearest engraving, though we can fit more if you'd like them smaller.

2. Snap a Photo: Take a clear, well-lit photo of your message or creation (make sure there are no shadows over the paper). Keep it close-up and in focus. 

3. Upload: Simply upload your image file using the "Upload Own Handwriting Picture" button before adding the item to your cart.

A quick note: our compasses are made from highly polished brushed brass, which gives them that distinctive character. The brushed effect adds charm and authenticity—it's a feature, not a flaw.
