Difficult engraving surfaces around the top of the ring.
It's not bad but the first set of cuts you did should be wide and bright. As it is now it's a bit flat looking. I believe you'll be surprised on how much difference that would make.

Thanks for posting

I can see what you are saying, I chose not too because I was worried about making the piece too busy. I guess I was wrong

Remember that when engraving jewelry in this style, sparkle is the name of the game. Try it on a practice piece and see how you like it. It'll give it much more depth and dimension with the play of light on the brightcuts. :chip:

So do you think it would be wise to go back in, and try to place more in those cuts? Or might I be bighting off more Than I should

Sam · Jun 10, 2011

If it were me I would go back and brightcut the main cuts, not the shading. If you have the control and confidence to do so then go for it. If not, then practice first then do it on the next job.
