Laser Engraving Jewelry
One of the many uses of laser engraving is jewelry design.
Jewelry (Jewellery in british spelling) comprises ornamental objects worn by persons, typically made with gems and precious metals.
Jewelry, particularly when made with precious materials, is generally considered valuable and desirable. A variety of precious gemstones, coins or other precious items can be used, often set into precious metals. Common metals used for jewellery include gold, platinum or silver.
Many precious gems are used also to design jewelry. Diamonds are the king in this industry. Not only because they are the final product but alson because they have an industrial use. The dominant industrial use of diamond is in cutting, drilling, grinding, and polishing. Most uses of diamonds in these technologies do not require large diamonds; in fact, most diamonds that are gem-quality except for their small size, can find an industrial use. Diamonds are embedded in drill tips or saw blades, or ground into a powder for use in grinding and polishing applications.
Laser engraving in jewelry is not used to make the cutting of gems instead this technique is used mainly to engrave photographs, designs, images and phrases. Laser engraving in jewelry is a computer controlled, environmentally friendly alternative to mechanical engraving, pad printing, stamping or chemical etching. The digital nature of laser engraving allows a great variety of individual customizations.
