Ordering

How it works

A simple, personal way to order — designed by you, proofed by us, and only engraved once you are happy.

  1. 01

    Browse

    Discover our engraved slate collection — names, Arabic calligraphy, weddings, new baby, home and door slates.

  2. 02

    Personalise

    Choose a design, select your slate size and add your name or message. Pick a lettering style that feels right.

  3. 03

    Preview

    See your personalised slate update on screen as you type, shown at true relative size.

  4. 04

    Enquire

    Press “Order via WhatsApp”. Your design details, a reference and a private preview link are written into a WhatsApp message — you just press send.

  5. 05

    Approve

    We prepare your final engraving proof and send it to you. Request changes or approve it — nothing is engraved until you do.

  6. 06

    Receive

    Once your order is agreed, paid for and prepared, your personalised slate is carefully packed and dispatched.

Preview and proof

What’s the difference?

Your live preview

An illustration to help you design: your words in the layout and lettering you choose, on a realistic slate at the right proportions. Natural slate varies, so texture, edges and contrast will differ slightly.

Your final proof

Prepared by us for your order and sent to you to check. It shows exactly what will be engraved. We only engrave once you have approved it.

  • Check spellings, dates and Arabic text carefully
  • Ask for as many changes as you need before approving
  • Your approval is recorded before engraving begins
