Piece Red
An Interesting Look at How Engraving Can Provide a Distinctive and Thoughtful Element for the Gift of a Ring, Bracelet, or Pendant
If you want beautiful and unique jewelry, consider purchasing jewelry that has been engraved. Custom fine jewelry engraving can add a special touch to a significant piece such as a wedding or anniversary ring. Since there are different techniques that can be used, it is important to know a bit about them so that you can be sure you get the piece you want.
Since jewelry engraving needs precision, it can be a great idea to allow a professional to complete the work, as well as the jewelry casting, but there is no reason that you cannot help by designing the pattern. One tip for creating a usable jewelry pattern is to use a piece of guide paper that is the same size as your piece. That way you can be sure that the pattern is the proper size and proportion to be transferred to your jewelry piece.
You should know that not every jewelry engraver uses the same technique to create pieces. There are several different techniques including lazer engraving, hand engraving and machine engraving. If you want a very detailed pattern or text to be placed on the piece being created, you may want to lean more toward machine or laser engraving since the level of precision can be higher than by hand. This is because machine or laser engraving uses a computer template to guide the machine doing the engraving. This leaves very little if any room for error.
Some popular trends in engraving include the scribing of wedding vows or significant verses on the inside of a wedding ring. If you are using text you should make sure that the lettering style you choose is clear and easy to read. Because the lettering will be quite small you may want to have the piece machine engraved so that there are no errors or mistakes.
If you want a truly original piece of jewelry, consider hand engraving. This takes time and skill to master. A skilled engraver can put an extremely precise pattern on the inside and outside of a ring or bracelet. You may find that hand engravers will prefer to work with a softer metal just because it is easier to get the metal to accept the inscription. Gold is often the softest metal to work with. The higher the karats in a piece of gold jewelry the more pure it is. Pure gold is too soft to work with as it will bend and scratch with normal wear. You should know that the fact that metal is easier to engrave will be offset by the fact that the inscription can wear off over time.
If you want to make sure that the engraving will be around for many years to come, consider making sure that the cuts used to engrave the piece are very deep. This allows for some of the metal's surface to wear away over time but it should not harm the inscription. Deep cuts are a sign of an experienced and capable engraver. If your engraver does not have a large choice in tools this may be a warning sign that they do not have the experience they claim. Experienced engravers like to have a range of tools since different shapes make carving much easier.
Sizing can be a critical issue for jewelry that has been engraved. This is because once a pattern is placed on the metal and carved into it, it cannot be changed because the piece is made larger or smaller. This is especially true for rings. If you were to stretch the ring it would distort the pattern and if you attempted to remove a portion of the ring to shrink it the joins would become noticeable very easily.
Customizing a ring or other piece of jewelry with engraving can really make an ordinary piece special. Create wonderful memories of your wedding with an engraved wedding band and elevate an already memorable item into something truly inspiring.
