Jewelry
The demand for personalized jewelry has made jewelers more aware of the benefits of the laser engraving process.
Jewelers found that by using a laser, they could tackle an engraving task with greater precision. In fact, jewelers discovered that laser engraving allowed for more precision than other types of engraving. At the same time, jewelers discovered that laser applied engravings had a number of other desirable features.
At one time jewelers who attempted to do laser engraving did need to use large pieces of equipment. Now the devices that perform laser engraving come in units. Some entrepreneurs have placed such units in mall kiosks. That has made laser engraving jewelry much more accessible. The makers of machines for laser engraving jewelry have developed some very specialized equipment. They have designed machines that can engrave the inside of a ring. They have also created machines that have the ability to engrave the back of a watch.
A laser can cut into both flat and curved surfaces. Jewelry contains both flat and curved surfaces. That points-up the reason why jewelers have welcomed all the adaptations for the creation of laser engraved jewelry.

Famous quotes containing the word jewelry:
“The demonstrations are always early in the morning, at six o’clock. It’s wonderful, because I’m not doing anything at six anyway, so why not demonstrate?... When you’ve written to your president, to your congressman, to your senator and nothing, nothing has come of it, you take to the streets.”
—Erica Bouza, U.S. jewelry designer and social activist. As quoted in The Great Divide, book 2, section 7, by Studs Terkel (1988)
