Engraving is a very exact way of personalizing your items. Classic and timeless, all engraving at MGD is done with a CNC engraving machine specifically designed for jewellery.
The completed and polished items (ie. ring) is placed in the machine, and a specialty tool then removes metal by scribing on the surface of the metal to deliver evenly spaced lettering and precise graphics with a uniform look and a consistent depth. Although precise, and perfectly formed, engraving is not always deep.
Engraving takes a long time, and most of that time it spent on the graphics using specialized software and programming for the CNC engraving machine. Therefore, you will most often be charged for a ‘Set Up’ and an ‘Engraving’ fee.
Smooth and polished surfaces is ideal for engraving. Engraving on hammered or textured surfaces is not recommended, as well as any rings thinner than 4mm wide.
Please note that our engraving is done with a CNC Engraving machine and NOT a Laser engraving machine.
