Laser Engraving Gold
Laser engraving gold has become a particularly effective and popular technology used toward this end. Find out how laser engraving can add value to your business.
Gold metal needs little introduction. Valued for its rarity and visual appeal, jewellery made of gold has been used to convey affluence and elevated social status.
Nowadays, gold has become more accessible, with most consumers instead preferring their pieces to have a higher degree of personalisation and customisation. Pendants, rings, and charms are considered more valuable when laser engraved gold has a person’s name, initials, or other personal inscriptions.

Laser Engraving Gold Jewellery
Since gold has a highly reflective surface, a pulsed fiber laser is a preferred technology to laser engrave gold. By using a laser with a higher energy density, the heat is quickly absorbed by the material. Despite the use of a high energy laser, the parameters of a pulsed fiber laser can be adjusted to work with very delicate materials such as extremely thin or hollow gold items.
Pulsed fiber lasers have become the standard technology used specifically for gold items. A fiber laser concentrates high energy in an extremely fine laser beam, allowing gold laser engraving with highly intricate and detailed designs. With a higher degree of control, a pulsed laser fiber does not damage the surrounding material, resulting in custom engraved jewellery with a clean finish.

Laser marking technology provides total design freedom, allowing for the accurate reproduction of practically any design idea on gold jewellery – logos, small alphanumeric characters, fancy typeface, or even photo-realistic designs.

Laser Engraving Gold Hallmarks
Hallmarking is a process by which jewellers leave unique marks on their pieces as a sort of “trademark”. This process was traditionally done by using steel punches, but laser engraving technology has provided jewellery makers with the ability to create hallmarks without causing damage or distortion to the product.
Given the soft nature of gold metal, the non-contact engraving process is the best method to ensure that the item does not suffer any secondary damage. An automated laser marking operation ensures that results are accurate every single time.
