Engrave jewellery

The easiest way is to record the dimensions of the jewellery and then sketch the jewellery out, then sketch on the desired pattern. So you'll see how it looks and if it fits.

With a thin permanent marker you can now draw your desired design on the earring.

For engraving metal there are several accessories and tools that work well for this application. We used the Multi tool and a 2mm (7103) diamond wheel point. You can also use an Engraver 1.9mm (110). Both work very well.

The Multi-chuck (4486) is great for clamping the various tools. You do not need a key to tighten the multi-chuck but it can be tightened with your hands.

Be sure to put on gloves and place the jewellery on a non-slip mat. Now you can trace the marker and start to engrave with the tool.

Do not apply pressure to the work piece or machine. To make the lines thicker just go over them again until at the desired thickness.

Acetone can be used to clean up any remains.

For the bracelet we took a diamond engraving point. It is ideal for very thin lines.

With a Diamond cutter 2 mm (7103) you can then fill-in all surfaces and bring in more depth.

As with earrings, remove the remainders of dust and permanent marker with acetone or nail polish remover if you have any.
