Engraved Beads

After I had my first daughter my sister in law created an exquisite piece of jewelry for me. It had a lot of semi precious pink pearls attached to a pair of pink baby booties. The piece of jewelry was a bracelet and I wear it everywhere. I would like to repay her by making her a bracelet. Since her husband is in the military I would like to string some beads together but have one engraved with her husband’s name on it. Is that possible to do myself or would I have to take it into an engraver  or a bead shop to handle for me?
