Lettering
Lettering and all the multitude of styles and forms that they can take, is
an art in itself. A single letter of the alphabet can be engraved in such a
variety of styles such as floral or arnamental to name but a few. Some extremely intricate lettering
designs can leave you amazed at the brilliant artistry and
sheer beauty.
However intricate the design of the letter, the person that views the engraving
must be able to see exactly what the letter is and though some styles of lettering
are artistic, to say the least, it can be difficult to make out what the letter
actually is.
The basic shape of the letter, whether Script, Roman, Old English
or Block should not be lost amongst a web of intricate floral or arnamental
engraving and time should be taken in the overall design of letters such as
in the design of an entwined monogram.
Free DHTML scripts provided by When begining an engraving, be it a large inscription onto a silver salver
, a monogram onto a pair of cufflinks or a single initial onto a signet ring
, the engraver will look at the overall shape of the article to be engraved
and then decide on the style and positioning of the engraving that will best
suit that article.
The design is then drawn onto the item of jewellery and scribed in order that the engravers hand may move freely over the item of jewellery.
Using hand held gravers the design is then cut into the metal. The reflection of light onto these cuts brings the engraving to life, the art is knowing which
cuts to use to best display the design.
