Engraving a Crest Signet Ring
Some clients want a personal object or symbol captured on a piece, such
as a favorite hunting dog on a gun or a family crest on a ring. This
type of engraving job can be quite different and challenging.
As an example, these two 14 karat gold die-struck rings, which
are part of a set of three, were engraved by Todd Daniels. The face of each
ring is a mere 14 mm (0.55") across, quite a small workspace. However,
Daniels has accurately reproduced the family crest even on this tiny
surface. The lion in the center measures just 5.4 x 5.9 mm (0.21" X
0.23"). The text that prominently states Onward and Upward measures
slightly less than 0.5 mm (0.02")...about the thickness of 5 pieces of
paper. With certain areas engraved as a positive and others as a
negative, Daniels' engraving skills and experience are clearly evident.
