Engraving is the practice of incising a design onto a hard, usually flat surface by cutting grooves into it. This results in a beautifully decorated object in itself where anyone can express their innermost emotion through their jewelry. Whether it be be a initials from a loved one or a family crest on a ring, engraving is a form of art that requires great skill. There are two kinds of engraving, machine and hand. Machine engraving is a tracing technique and is done by less skilled artisans using an engraving machine. Hand engraving is an art that takes years of learning, practice and a sense of art. Good hand engravers are hard to find but the work done takes considerably more time than a machine.
Major Tip: When writing instructions on any engraving job, write is as you want it.
