To engrave is to mark a surface to create a visual and textural design. Today’s jewelry engraving processes are very advanced, so it is possible to create intricate and detailed engravings on most types of jewelry surfaces. Engravings are often used to personalize a piece of jewelry with a name, initials, or special message. Today many couples ask to have their wedding bands engraved with personal messages or meaningful notes. Engraving differs from etching, which has a much lighter incision than engraving.
