A living tradition

Before ink pens and passwords, there was the seal.

For three thousand years, a carved stone seal has been how a person signs their name in China — on letters, on paintings, on the things that mattered. Pressed once in cinnabar red, it is a signature that cannot be forged and does not fade.

We carry that craft forward: your name, translated with care and cut into stone by hand, so a Western name can carry an Eastern soul.

印 章 Hand-carved seal
How it's made

From a name to an heirloom,
in three steps.

01

Translate

Enter any name. We render it into Chinese characters chosen for sound and meaning — and show you what each one signifies.

02

Design & approve

Choose the script, the style, the stone. Preview your seal live, then approve a digital proof. Nothing is carved until you say yes.

03

Hand-carved

An artisan cuts your seal into natural soapstone, presses it in cinnabar, and boxes it with a card of its meaning. Yours alone.

The collection

One tradition, many voices.

Bold Han-seal script, elegant square 篆, or flowing Western calligraphy — every name finds its form.

“Every seal we cut carries a small secret — the meaning hidden inside the characters. is love. is a precious stone. Your name, made beautiful.”

The CinnabarMark workshop
For painters & makers

Sign your work like the masters did.

Painters, calligraphers, potters and illustrators use a personal seal to mark finished work — a mark of authorship that is unmistakably yours.

We cut studio seals in classic 朱文 and 白文, sized for canvas or ceramic, in the same natural stone the old masters chose.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

Can you translate any name?+
Yes. We render Western names into Chinese characters chosen for both sound and beautiful meaning, and show you what each character signifies before you order. You can also type Chinese directly.
What is it made of?+
Each seal is hand-carved from natural soapstone (青田-style print stone), the same soft, luminous stone Chinese seal artists have used for centuries. No two stones are identical.
How long does it take?+
You'll receive your free digital proof within 1 business day. After you approve it, carving and shipping take about 10 days worldwide.
What if I don't like the design?+
Nothing is carved until you approve the proof. If you're ever unhappy with the finished seal, we offer a 100% money-back guarantee.
Will I pay customs or duties?+
No. The price you see is the price you pay — all duties, customs fees and tracked worldwide shipping are included. No surprises at checkout or at your door.
Can I use it as a real stamp?+
Absolutely. Your seal comes with cinnabar paste and presses a crisp red impression on paper, art, letters and gifts — just like a traditional Chinese chop.
