Exploring Memorial Engraving Styles
Olympia Marble’s craftsmen have over 30 years of experience in traditional and modern engraving techniques. With practised precision and heartfelt respect, our skilled artisans can honour your loved one's legacy with a beautiful engraving. Our inscriptions add timeless elegance to the monuments we craft, whether on marble, sandstone, granite, limestone headstones, or bronze plaques.
Classic Elegance: Our artisans use sandblasting to delicately carve your heartfelt message into stunningly polished stone. This standard engraving technique removes the polished finish from each letter, allowing the stone’s natural colour and texture to create a captivating contrast against its polished surroundings.
Artisanal Strokes: Experience true traditional craftsmanship as our skilled artisans use hand tools like hammers and chisels to write and inscribe your deeply personal and enduring tribute onto the surface of your chosen headstone. Charming Simplicity: Our skilled letter cutters use precision, the latest technology, and tools to remove polished stone around each letter of your chosen inscription. The technique gives the effect of raised lettering, creating a captivating contrast between the headstone’s natural texture and colour and its polished letters. Enduring Expressions: Olympia Marble’s artisans are skilled at lead engravings, a time-honoured technique that adds sophistication to marble headstones and gravestones. By filling inscriptions and intricate details engraved into pure white marble with lead, we can enhance the beauty of your loved one’s memorial. Graceful Brushworks: Introduce a touch of glamour and vibrancy to your chosen headstone design with painted engravings. Our artisans can expertly apply paint to inscriptions, motifs and designs, turning headstones into canvases of beauty and remembrance.
Luxurious Finishes: Gold has one of the best resilience levels against the elements of nature, making it the preferred material for memorial inscriptions and engravings. Olympia Marble’s letter cutters are adept at adorning heartfelt inscriptions and motifs with gold leaf, ensuring cherished memories and tributes remain vivid and beautiful for generations.
