Laser engraving and laser marking of jewelry

Creative design on gold and other precious materials

Traditional crafts, modern tools

When manufacturing jewelry, a multitude of different materials is used nowadays, in particular precious metals and alloys. Traditionally, the industry has always worked with a lot of engravings (but ones produced mechanically) or with methods such as etching. While in the past an important reason to produce gold inlay engravings on expensive pieces was to personalize them or to add a meaningful inscription, nowadays creative designs of jewelry pieces, also in the area of fashion jewelry, have become ever more important. Laser engraving metals such as gold and other precious metals is quick and easy.

"We recently purchased a Speedy 100 laser cutter for our jewellery department. The laser cutter allows the students to explore other materials beyond traditional precious metals - especially wood, acrylic, plastic and leather. We got some really innovative and successful products that can be produced and copied multiple times using the laser, it's a great production tool. Once the designs are done, repeating the is a very very simple step. The students are very excited and the faculity feels that the laser can bring new opportunities to the department."
