Made in Britain logo

Jewellery

Laser engraving is a method used to engrave intricate designs, messages, or images onto metal or other materials. It is a great way to add a personal touch to jewellery and make it unique. Using a laser to engrave jewellery results in a clean, smooth finish with excellent accuracy and detail. Laser engraving provides a permanent marking that won't fade or wear off, making it an excellent choice for customising jewellery pieces.

The process of laser engraving jewellery starts with designing the engraving. Images, logos, monograms, or other custom designs can be used to create a unique look. The laser engraver then uses a computer-controlled laser to etch the design onto the metal. This process is quick and produces highly detailed results. Laser engraving jewellery is also a great way to add a personal message or special date to a piece of jewellery. Laser engraving is a great way to make a piece of jewellery truly unique and special.

Laser engraving is also used to create a higher level of detail compared to traditional engraving methods, making it a desirable choice for jewellery makers. Laser engraving is less time consuming than traditional engraving methods, allowing jewellers to quickly create customised pieces for their customers. This technology is also highly cost-effective which is why it has become so popular in the jewellery industry.

Proud to be in partnership with...

ChloBo have being using our fiber laser engravers on their delicate own branded jewellery for over 3 years, and are still amazed by the speed and precision at which the lasers operate to achieve a high quality and personal product for their customers.

"When 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 so many opportunities for us as well as elevate our product offering. And as an added bonus, Needham Laser Tech are an absolute pleasure to work with, they’re always super helpful should we ever need them."

Hallmarking jewellery with a laser

Using a laser to put hallmarks on jewellery is a process which is becoming increasingly popular in the jewellery industry. It is a much more accurate and efficient method than traditional methods of hallmarking, such as stamping, engraving, or etching. This ensures that the hallmarks are precise and of a consistent quality across the entire piece of jewellery.

The laser hallmarking process first involves marking the jewellery with a thin layer of metal, usually gold or silver. This layer is then exposed to a high-powered laser beam, which is focused on the desired area. The laser beam melts the metal, creating a very precise and consistent shape. The hallmark is then etched into the metal, leaving a permanent mark on the jewellery.

This process is becoming increasingly popular due to its accuracy and efficiency. It is also much less labour intensive than traditional methods, which can be time consuming and require more skill. The laser hallmarking process is also much more cost effective than traditional methods, as it requires less material and labour.

Laser engraving personalisation

The marks made by laser engraving are permanent, legible, and abrasion resistant. These are essential qualities for jewellery pieces that are meant to last a lifetime and are sometimes even passed down generations. As lasers offer a non contact method of marking, the jewellery does not need to be clamped down on the engraving platform or to endure any physical impact. This reduces the chances of the precious jewellery suffering any secondary damage.

Laser engraving machines, using very fine but powerful beams of light, allow for the engraving of highly detailed and high resolution designs. Thus, fingerprint designs and multiple lines of text on wedding bands have been made possible by laser engraving technology. Even photos can be engraved on any piece of jewellery. The best part of printing highly detailed designs is that it is almost as simple as printing an image on a standard printer – all you have to do is load the design on the software, position the jewellery on the printing platform, and let the laser do its job.

The Benefits

Modern pieces of technology such as the jewellery laser engraving machine have given jewellery makers the ability to make highly customised and personalised marks and engravings on various pieces of jewellery. 

Compared to traditional engraving methods, laser engraving does not use a lot of consumables and has fewer moving parts. The jewellery maker will no longer have to deal with etching chemicals or replacement of worn down punchers. Laser engraving jewellery is fast, completing the task in only a few seconds. With a jewellery laser engraver such as the N-Lase Desktop, jewellery makers can have a faster turnaround time for their product.

A jewellery laser engraving machine can work with a multitude of common metals used in jewellery – gold, silver, platinum, brass, or any kind of alloy. It can also be used for less traditional materials such as tungsten carbide, titanium, or palladium. There is a very long list of possible applications of laser engraving including rings, bracelets, lockets, watches, spectacles, eyeglass cases, earrings, belt buckles, and keychains.
