Need to remove engraving on a sterling silver bracelet

I have a new sterling silver bracelet and have the bracelet engraved both front and back. I don't like what my girlfriend has got written on it, so I was wondering if I could remove the engraving somehow because it is a expensive bracelet.

You might not have a girlfriend for very long if you modify it.
I would not touch the back as no one else will see it. Check with a shop that does engraving to see if they can engrave something a bit deeper so as to remove the current engraving.
You could borrow a Moto Tool and polish out the engraving, but I think that it probably would make it ugly.

Any silversmith (or goldsmith) can do that job. Hope it helps and good luck!

We're working hard to make sure we find it the best new home.
