How does it work?
We use a state of the art laser engraving machine which gently etches away the top layer of the pen to reveal the base metal underneath.
The colour of engraving depends on the base metal underneath. Lacquered pens tend to engrave with a brass finish, whilst chrome pens with a subtle two tone effect (check preview on every product page). We also offer 3 font choices;
What can I engrave?
We can engrave any letter, number or character that can entered from a standard computer keyboard, in any language. This includes English, Arabic, Hebrew, Greek, Cyrillic etc.
We can engrave UTF8 symbols. Either choose from our list or copy and paste your own.
Each pen has a limit to the amount of characters we can engrave due to its size and curvature. Look out for the character limit on each product page. If you cant quite fit your message with the allowable characters, please call us and we will see what we can do.
Where is my message engraved?
Barrel or cap end – see engrave preview on the product page
How much does engraving cost?
All individual pens cost £7, and pen sets cost £10 (both pens are engraved with the same message)
Will engraving delay my order?
No. Because we engrave in-house, all orders placed before 3pm are despatched the same day.

This was a purchase to replace my Cross Century Pencil which I lost. I loved it and was frustrated because the outlet that sold them had stopped doing so. No luck on line but I kept looking. So pleased with Pen Heaven. Pencil replaced. Came quickly. It writes beautifully and just sits well in your hand.

I've been using the ballpoint pen in this range for years, and, my hints of having the pencil too not having been picked up, I decided to treat myself. It feels lovely to write with. I haven't yet had to add new leads, but I'm sure I'll work out how to do this in due course.

Pencil is magnificent BUT I cannot recommend Cross products, indeed advise against using CROSS? why.
Yes quality is great , but warranty and service is useless, Non existent.
I had to buy this pencil to replace my regular one, because I have been unable to contact CROSS to even seek advice, no chance of repairs . Sad this company I have trusted many years should hide from the user.
No more unless they change customer care attitude. We are now trialing two makers as alternatives, with great product and exceptional customer contact and service.
Do hope CROSS does not continue their decline.
