ENGRAVING

Computer Engraving

It seems there might be a slight confusion in terminology, as "computer engraving" is not a standard term commonly used in the context of jewelry making or engraving. However, I can provide information on computer-aided engraving, which involves the use of computer-controlled machines for engraving purposes. This is often associated with technologies like CNC (Computer Numerical Control) engraving.

Laser Engraving

Laser engraving is a modern and highly precise technique used in jewelry making to create intricate designs, patterns, or text on various materials, including metals, gemstones, and even non-traditional materials like wood or acrylic. Unlike traditional hand engraving, laser engraving is a non-contact process where a focused laser beam is used to selectively remove or alter the surface material, creating detailed and accurate markings.

Hand Engraving

Hand engraving is a traditional and meticulous technique in jewelry making where intricate designs, patterns, or text are incised into the surface of metal using specialized tools. This skilled craft is performed by artisans known as engravers, who use handheld tools such as gravers or burins to cut into the metal, creating detailed and precise decorative elements. Hand engraving allows for a high level of artistry and customization, resulting in unique and personalized pieces of jewelry.

Stamping

In jewelry making, "stamping" refers to a technique where a design or pattern is impressed onto a metal surface using a stamp or die. This process allows jewelry artisans to create intricate and detailed designs on various types of metals, such as gold, silver, brass, and copper. Stamping can be done manually or with the assistance of machines, depending on the complexity of the design and the desired level of precision.The process of stamping involves placing the metal sheet or object on a hard surface and using a hammer or press to apply force to the stamp, transferring the design onto the metal. This technique allows for the creation of repetitive patterns, textures, symbols, or even personalized messages on the surface of the jewelry.
