Our High Tech Jewelry Engraving Process

Every piece of jewelry or precious metal sold on the market, is required by law to be stamped with its precious metal content. Whether it is made of 14kt, 18kt gold, or platinum, a proper designation and stamp must be placed on the jewelry item. Similarly, all sterling silver giftware gets stamped with the appropriate precious metal content.

Many high end jewelry companies like Tiffany, Van Cleef, and Harry Winston (just to name a few) will also brand their jewelry designs with their unique, trademarked company logo in addition to the precious metal content.

The Tiffany Etoile wedding band is stamped with their unique "T&CO" logo.

Obvioulsy this is done to highlight the quality and beauty of the design, as well as to distinguish and protect the trademarked brand of the company.

The process of actually engraving a piece of jewelry is quite complicated and involves the use of specially designed equipment. While some companies use the older method of stamping jewelry with a hot iron that brands a mark into the hot (pliable) metal, this has become antiquated with the advent of newer laser inscription and engraving technologies.

There are many problems with the older jewelry stamps, including poor visibility and legibility, fonts that are too large, lack of flexibility in design and execution, and often the negitive way it can impact on the precious metal itself.

Newer technologies for inscribing jewelry, involves the use of specialized computer systems that hallmark and inscribe jewelry by means of a highly efficient laser beam.

Laser marking is the new frontier for inscribing jewelry and is more efficient and effective than traditional jewelry stamping in the following ways:

1. Permanent. It is an indelible process which cannot be easily removed.
2. Non Contact Type. It does not produce any deformation in product unlike in punching, stamping, pneumatic pin, vibratory pencil etc.
3. Flexibility. It can mark any images and fonts without changing any punch, die, stencil etc. unlike other conventional process.
4. Aesthetic/Accuracy. Since the laser can produce a very fine beam with accuracy in microns, many accurate and micro details with precision can be marked with laser inscribing.
5. Low Operating Cost. Laser marking helps significantly, in cutting operating costs by reducing labor cost, tool cost, consumable cost, set up time, rejection, and improved cycle time.

This kind of high tech jewelry engraving process is what we use to engrave and stamp all of our unique and custom jewelry pieces.

For Example; our hand made, Tiffany inspired diamond engagement ring, which is the most popular solitaire engagement ring that we exclusively manufacture, is laser engraved with its 950 platinum designation as well as our "SC" (SuperbCert) trademarked brand logo.

This beautiful logo would never get done to this kind of specification in microns, with the aesthetic beauty and enduring quality, if not for the fact that we use a high tech laser similar to the one pictured above.

Very interesting subject , regards for putting up.

Do you people have a facebook fan page? I looked for one on bing but could not discover one, I would certainly like to become a fan! Thank you so much

I assume this is among the most outstanding know-how for me. And i am happy I found your blog post. Good job, cheers

I have saw that web page and if I might I would like to submit you some favorable suggestion. Perhaps you may write more pages reffering to this one. I would like to read more about it!

I gotta favorite this website it seems very useful very useful

I came across your website on twitter and read a few of your other articles. I just added you to my Reading list. Keep up the nice work. Look forward to reading more from you in the future. Have a good day.

Agency, they declare on to be taught that filing lawsuits is not the tote to do to a interval piracy. As an privilege, it's to footmarks something enlarge than piracy. Like placidity of use. It's indubitably a the intact furnishings easier to utter iTunes than to search the Internet with jeopardy of malware and then crappy feature, but if people are expected to present tit as a service to tat in reciprocation loads and armed pillaging owing ages, it's not bourgeoning to work. They anyway be subjected to a low-lying on bludgeon in refrain from people sire software and Springe sites that vocal affront it ridiculously tranquilly to infringer, and up the quality. If that happens, then there consider be no stopping piracy. But they are too particular and appalled of losing. Risks honest to be contented!

Howdie. Amazing website. Thanks for taking the time to post about your view with the world.

Seems like that you are placed lots of effort and hard function into your article and I require much more of these using the net these days. I sincerely got a kick from your article. I really do not truly have much to say in response, I only wanted to comment to reply great work.

I have been searching online more than 4 hours today, yet I never read any compelling article like yours. It's pretty worth plenty for me. Personally, if all web owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the net will be much more helpful than ever before.

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like 'Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of "neighbors" will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune "Social" is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod's. It works well, but isn't as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod's larger screen and better browser may be important.

Helpful content and great template you got here! I want to thank you very much for writing about your ideas and taking the time into the stuff you publish! Wonderful project!
