In this video I demonstrate hand engraving a Titanium signet ring. I had the coat of arms design laser engraved onto the custom ring, to ensure its accurate placement and so the details didn't wipe off.
I used a GRS Tools Gravermach with 901 hand piece and a custom hand made graver to apply the engraving. The ring itself is held in a Jura Tools Basic QC set, with the 20mm flat round top jaws, to hold. it firmly.
I am a big fan of hand engraving and looking forward to doing more of it in the future, most of my time is spend diamond setting, but because a lot of the tooling and hand control is very similar, engraving is a natural progression from diamond setting.
