Jewellery Laser Engraving Machine

Laser engraving is an exceptional method for inscribing intricate designs, messages, or images onto metal and various other materials. This technique allows for the addition of a personalised touch to jewellery, rendering every piece even more special. With a laser, you can achieve a pristine, smooth finish, characterised by outstanding precision and detail. As a permanent marking that neither fades nor wears off, laser engraving is the ideal option for customising jewellery items.

The laser engraving process for jewellery beings with the creation of the design. Images, logos, monograms, or bespoke designs can be used on jewellery to make it unique. A laser engraver is then used to etch the design onto the metal surface, a procedure that is not only swift but also delivers highly detailed outcomes. Moreover, laser engraving serves as a brilliant means of incorporating a personal message or commemorating a significant date on a jewellery piece. In essence, laser engraving is a great way to make a piece of jewellery truly unique and special.

ChloBo has been using our fiber laser engravers on their delicate branded jewellery for more than three years, and is still amazed by the speed and precision at which the lasers operate to achieve a high quality and personal product for their customers.

"Since we introduced our Needham laser engraver to our finishing room back in 2020, it has given us so much versatility in our design process, as well as our personalisation offering. We are leaner from a supply chain perspective, slicker as the laser process is so fast, and more creative and inventive as we use our laser engraver for much more than personalisation.

“Bringing engraving in-house has opened many opportunities for us and elevated our product offering. And as an added bonus, Needham Laser Tech is an absolute pleasure to work with, their team is always super helpful should we ever need them."

Laser Engraving Jewellery Options

Hallmarking jewellery with a laser

Laser hallmarking has gained considerable popularity in the jewellery industry as a precise and efficient alternative to traditional hallmarking techniques such as stamping, engraving, or etching. This approach ensures accurate and consistently high-quality hallmarks on each jewellery piece.

The process involves coating the jewellery with a thin layer of metal, typically gold or silver. A high-powered laser beam is then focused on the desired area, melting the metal and forming an exact, uniform shape. Subsequently, the hallmark is etched into the metal, leaving a permanent impression on the jewellery.

The growing preference for laser hallmarking can be attributed to its accuracy, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. This method is considerably less labour-intensive compared to traditional techniques, which are time-consuming and necessitate a higher level of skill. Additionally, laser hallmarking requires fewer materials and labour, rendering it a more economical choice.

Laser engraving personalisation

Laser engraving creates permanent, legible, and abrasion-resistant marks, which are vital qualities for jewellery pieces intended to endure a lifetime or even be passed down through generations. Since lasers employ a non-contact marking method, there is no need to clamp the jewellery onto the engraving platform or subject it to any physical impact, significantly reducing the risk of inflicting secondary damage on the precious item.

Utilising fine yet potent beams of light, laser engraving machines enable the inscription of highly detailed and high-resolution designs. This technology has made it possible to engrave fingerprint designs and multiple lines of text on wedding bands, as well as images on various jewellery pieces. Executing intricate designs is nearly as straightforward as printing an image on a standard printer - simply upload the design onto the software, position the jewellery on the printing platform, and allow the laser to work its magic.

The Benefits of Laser Engraving for the Jewellery Industry

As a jewellery business owner, it's important to stay on top of the latest trends and technologies to remain competitive in the market. The jewellery laser engraving machine is one such technology that has revolutionised the way jewellery makers operate.

With a jewellery laser engraver, you can create highly customised and personalised marks and engravings on various jewellery pieces. Laser engraving is a much faster process than traditional methods, including using a rotary engraver or diamond tip engraver, taking only a few seconds to complete. This allows for faster turnaround times, ensuring your customers receive their products in a timely manner.

Compared to traditional engraving methods, laser engraving has several advantages. It uses fewer consumables and has fewer moving parts, eliminating the need for etching chemicals or replacement of worn-down punchers. This can help reduce operating costs and increase profitability for your business.

Furthermore, a jewellery laser engraving machine can work with a wide range of common metals used in jewellery, including gold, silver, platinum, brass, and alloys. It can also be used to engrave less traditional materials such as tungsten carbide, titanium, and palladium. This flexibility allows you to expand your offerings and provide unique designs that stand out from the competition.

There are countless applications for laser engraving in the jewellery industry. You can use it to engrave rings, bracelets, lockets, watches, spectacles, eyeglass cases, earrings, belt buckles, and keychains. The possibilities are truly endless, and laser engraving can help take your jewellery business to the next level.

Investing in a jewellery laser engraving machine is a smart choice for any jewellery business owner looking to improve efficiency, increase profitability, and offer unique, personalised designs to their customers.
