Hand engraving is a dying art but I am keeping it alive in the Quiet Corner!
Engraved back of the "Moss Agate" necklace, done in a birds and tree theme.
Engraved back of the Sapphire "Jelly Bean" bracelet.
Engraved detail image of an old car featured on the back of my "Motorhead" necklace
Engraved back of the "Maison Clas Gruner Sterner" pendant. The engraving mimics the stained glass windows on the facade.
Hand engraved rose, done from an actual photograph. This process consists of tracing the picture in the Procreate program on my iPad, shrinking the artwork, printing out and transferring the image onto the metal. Then, hand engraving the image. Subtle details like shadowing are lost in the transfer and will need to be added in. Practice and skill are assets here!
