Hand engraving is the perfect way to personalize a gift for bridesmaids, groomsmen, mothers, fathers or any relative or friend (Gift page). True hand engraving is done with a sharpened steel rod held by hand to cut letters and patterns into the surface of precious metals (Process page). This skill leaves a shiny, dimensional line that highlights the letters. Machine engraving, acid etching, and laser engraving do not cut as deep into the metal so it doesn't last as long or have the same crisp, elegant look as this traditional technique.

Eric Margry trained in Holland for four years to learn this old world technique and has been practicing his skills in America for over 30 years. He is one of the few craftsmen who is versed in the complex skills needed to make Family Crest jewelry pictured here as a cufflink and tuxedo stud set (Family Crest site).
