Hand Engraving

Hand engraving is the art of cutting decorative designs, patterns, or text into metal surfaces using specialized hand tools called gravers, requiring exceptional skill and precision.

This traditional technique has been used for centuries to personalize and embellish fine jewelry. Hand engraving creates deeper, more refined detail than machine engraving and can include scrollwork, floral patterns, geometric designs, or custom artwork. Each piece is unique as it's executed by hand.

Hand-engraved jewelry is significantly more valuable than machine-engraved pieces due to the artisan skill involved. Common applications include wedding band inscriptions, vintage-style pattern work, and family crests or monograms. The engraving should be deep enough to last through years of wear.
