Engraving Tiffany Key Ring

post #1 of 13
Thread Starter 
I just replaced my Tiffany house-and-key screwball key ring with the more classic (so to speak) Tiffany screwball key ring with the two balls and small, round tag - all in sterling. I believe it may be Tiffany's first style and thus considered the most "classic" Tiffany screwball key ring. The silver tag is engraved, on one side: STERLING TIFFANY & CO. in tiny letters. This inquiry is directed to those who believe you have a sense for the highest echelon of good taste.

How should I handle the tag? First of all, assumably, the engraving should be only on the currrently unmarked side - right? Should I have the engraver add just my last initial, first initial, both initials, or with my middle initial? Or should I leave the tag blank? As far as good taste, or etiquette, what would you suggest?

This is the key ring, of course. It's definitely become a classic and has been imitated by many:

I'd have it engraved with your initials. First/last or first/middle/last is up to you, but if it was me I would include my middle initial.

Last initial, or, get it properly monogramed.  And most definitely get it *hand* engraved.

Pretty obvious that you should get a circular monogram with your first, middle, and last initial.

Unscrew ball. Remove tag. Replace ball.

Oh. I just went to one of our three "traditional" jewelers left downtown for this. That was an option but i selected instead the monogram version with florid script ("iinterlocking style") and the last initial large and in the center:

I'm getting what this website calls "one person" but don't understand the difference between "one person" and "initials." In my case this would be "KGP" vs. "KPG."
