Engraving

I’ve recently completed the GRS engraving course, and am working diligently to grow my skills.

I prefer to keep this page focused strictly on my work, but I can't help but share the fantastic talents of @challenjer ! He started my fruit bat sleeve this past weekend and I couldn't be more pleased. A little scroll practice! Come see me at Van Horne Jewelers in Granger, IN! This platinum ring came to me because the center diamond kept coming loose and would spin in its setting. Solution: I installed a ring inside the halo to serve as a "seat" for the stone's pavilion, then built 4 heavy-duty prongs to hold the stone in place. Finally, I shaped the prongs into a dual claw shape to remove visual weight. In hindsight, such heavy prongs were probably unnecessary. On the plus side, the diamond won't be spinning in it's setting anytime soon! MASSIVE lead glass-filled ruby ring I refurbished a while back. It needed a complete overhaul, including four brand new claw prongs + resetting the center stone. These types of stones are so fragile they can be damaged during a routine cleaning. I'm incredibly proud to say this stone survived intact! My only regret is that I didn't take a "before" photo. Some cute little sterling jasmine earrings I made. I'd love to make more of these! Well....I was supposed to engrave today but my air compressor decided to up and die instead. Here's a preview of what's up next after it's fixed! My first engraving in M.O.N.T.H.S. I'm definitely a little rusty! Looking forward to more practice. I've relocated to Michigan! My new setup is coming along steadily, so keep your eyes peeled; I'll be posting new work very soon!
