Exploring How Engraving Can Bring a Memorable and Heart-Felt Fine Detail to the Keepsake of a Piece of Jewelry
Have you heard about the new hot trend in wedding rings? Couples are using jewelry engraving to carve their vows into the wedding rings on their fingers. This beautiful and personal touch makes reliving your vows easy in a beautiful and classy way. If you think you might be interested in doing this as well, read on for information about jewelry engraving so that you can be sure to get the results you want.
Jewelry engraving is not something that you can or should do yourself. Just as jewelry casting is best left to professionals. Mastering different hand engraving tools can take years because of the variety of different tools involved. The different properties of precious metals are also a factor since they react differently to the various tools and techniques.
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.
There are a few things that you should look for in a professional engraver. You want to have a look at work that they have completed. You want to make sure that the strokes that they are using are deep enough that they will last a long time. The last thing you want is for a piece of engraving to wear off of your ring. They should have a variety of differently shaped tools that will allow them to carve a variety of shapes and forms easily.
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.
If you take the time and plan out the piece to be engraved you will be amazed at how touching and memorable the piece can become. Imagine being able to look inside your wedding ring and read your vows as freshly as the day you first exchanged them. Engraving your rings can be one way to express your love and commitment to your partner in a lasting and meaningful way.
