A name, carved
to last a lifetime.

Two thousand years of signatures

Before ink pens and passwords, there was the seal.

For two millennia, emperors, poets and painters signed their lives' work with a single pressed square of cinnabar red. We carve that same tradition — in real seal script, on natural stone — for your name.

Fortune seal
The process

From a name to an heirloom, in three steps.

01

Tell us a name

Type any English name — we craft a beautiful Chinese name for it and explain what every character means. Or bring your own Chinese.

02

Shape your seal

Watch it appear live in ancient seal script. Choose stone, border and layout; fine-tune every character until it feels yours.

03

We carve. You keep it forever.

You approve a digital proof, then a carver cuts your design in stone. It arrives gift-boxed with cinnabar ink and a meaning card.

Nothing is carved until you say yes.

We send a digital proof of your exact design first. Approve it, and we carve. If we ever get a character wrong, we re-carve free — that's the deal.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

Will my English name really become Chinese?

Yes. We craft a Chinese name that sounds like yours and carries a beautiful meaning — and we tell you exactly what each character means. Prefer your real English letters? We carve those too, in fifteen seal-style typefaces.

Is it actually hand-carved?

Our premium seals are hand-cut in stone by a trained carver. You receive a one-of-a-kind object made for your name — plus the digital proof you approved.

How long does it take?

Digital proof within 1–2 days. After you approve, carving and worldwide shipping typically takes 1–2 weeks.

What do I use it for?

Sign artwork, books and letters; seal gifts and invitations; or display it. Cinnabar ink is included so you can press your mark anywhere.

Where do you ship? Any surprise fees?

Worldwide, from our studio. Duties are handled up front — the price you see is the price you pay.
