Okay, so this is no masterpiece or masterful engraving, to say the least. I have very little experience actually engraving, but I decided to start adding some engraved pieces to my jewelry. I string beads and such in the *little* spare time that I have (since I work full-time and have a 7.5 month old!) and wanted to have something different from all the hand stamped jewelry out there.
This is my second piece to which I have added engraving, and I listed it on Etsy for sale in my shop. But I just wanted to share with you engravers since it turned out nice and I got it done this weekend. I have most of the equipment for engraving at home, but no wonderful microscope like I used when I was learning, so I will be sticking to anything I can freehand and see easily at arm's length. I used a C-Max 120 degree graver with a polished parallel heel.
