Depends on what you are calling engraving ?
Basic letters are done with a panograph or on a CNC mill. $ 1,500 to 20K machine. Local Jewelers may do lettering for $ 6 to 10 per letter.
Scanned images can be done with a lazer. Machine starts at about $ 5000
As a service costs about $ 50 Min.
Fancy scroll engraving may be done by hand and can run into $ 1,000's of dollars depending on how ornate or detailed. All hand work and then finishing.
Hope that helps !
