Silver wine coaster with heraldic engraving

Mandy and Peter at Personalised Silver are helpful and efficient. I commissioned a heraldic crest to be engraved on their silver and Welsh slate wine coaster. The end product is perfect; the engraving is immaculate and the detail exquisite. I really appreciate Peter’s skill and craftsmanship. The coaster was completed to the promised timescale and delivered at a time convenient to me. I am very impressed by this company and recommend them with no hesitation.
