Engravers seem to be by nature artistic, creative, and innovative. Most engravers enjoy finding new ways of going about their business, whether it is a time-saving technique or a new tool geometry.

Weldon Lister is an engraver who likes to use the traditional tools of the trade for most of his engraved work. Although he creates engraved pieces most often, Lister has started making bracelets using a "super-secret" embossing method that he developed. The method enables him to continue his handmade approach with a vintage-cool result.

Here are a few of his Engraffiti™ bracelets with styles such as "Rayskin", "Ostrich", and "Scroll". These, although handmade, are different from his usual wholly engraved works. These bracelets are available in copper or sterling silver, and some are even made as a "bimetal", as Weldon calls it. These are made from two cuts of metal soldered together to make one complete bracelet, though it is a time-consuming process. The final product is a contemporary and modern look that has great style.
