How to Request Your Engraving

❀ Write your Baybayin text (or the word you wish to translate) in the Order Notes at checkout.

❀ Baybayin is phonetic—write your word as it sounds, breaking it down into syllables (e.g., BA-R-KA-DA for “barkada” [4 characters]).

❀ For special requests or to send a reference image, email ukit@akingsinta.co.uk with your order number.

❀ If ordering more than one necklace, please clarify which engraving goes with each piece.

Baybayin Writing Rules (Quick Guide)

❀ Baybayin does not use the letters “C,” “F,” “J,” “Q,” “V,” “X,” or “Z”—substitute with the closest Filipino sound.

❀ Each symbol represents a syllable (consonant + vowel: e.g., “ba,” “ka,” “da”). By default, each character ends with “a.”

❀ Add a kudlit (dot/mark) above for “e/i” or below for “o/u.”

❀ To cancel the vowel sound (write a final consonant), use a pamudpod or a krus.

Vowel remover mark will be chosen based on engraving space and design, but to specifically request either:

❀ For pamudpod, write a comma after the syllable (e.g., BA-R,-KA-DA).

❀ For krus, write a plus sign after the syllable (e.g., BA-R+-KA-DA).

Two-Sided Engravings

❀ For “Back to Back” (two-sided) engraving, the default is the same engraving on both sides.

❀ If you’d like different engravings on each side, specify clearly in Order Notes or by email (e.g., “Front: Lakas / Back: Ganda”).

Important Notes

❀ Custom engraving adds 1 extra working day to order processing.

❀ Engraved items are custom-made and non-refundable.
