    Question: fusing gold to steel

    Ron: I hadn't thought about the mass, but you're right. Bette Barnett is using thin metal (small mass) as she works in jewelry. Of course it would be much easier to heat small, thin pieces to temp than a firearm or a knife. Thank you for pointing this out. Chris: Hi Chris, I haven't read...

    There is a jewelry artist that has been using a technique of fusing gold to steel to create design as opposed to using inlay. Her name is Bette Barnett and on her website she compares this to Keum-bo technique of fusing gold to fine silver. Her application is solely on jewelry. Any ideas if...

    Question: What is Blackleaf?

    Dear Jerry, after visiting Roger's glossary and googling the two additional names for blackleaf engraving: German floral and Altdeutscher Laubgravur for images, different pictures of the engraving appear. Some are the same, but by changing the name a somewhat different search is created, even...

    Question: What is Blackleaf?

    Dear John and Roger, thank you for the reference to the glossary. I am on the Lindsay website as well and have never seen this. I guess I need to explore both Sam and Lindsay sites a bit more. That glossary will give me so many rabbit holes to go down. I really like the Churchill blackleaf...

    Question: is this created using a liner?

    Jahn, I looked up the Florentine Cylinder Burr - I see what you mean: it's kinda, sorta, but not really almost like a rotary liner. I can see how that would produce the texture in the metal. Chujybear, I don't know what kind of brush you are referring with hinged bristles. Can you post a...

    Question: is this created using a liner?

    gentleman, thank you so much for your responses. I wish I could get a better close up picture. I just had to do a copy/paste from images on the computer. When I tried to enlarge the pictures, they were out of focus and didn't give any better definition. I've never heard of a Florentine...

    Question: is this created using a liner?

    I love the texture created on these earrings by Marco Bicego. Was this texture created using a very fine liner? At one point, there was a video that showed the engravers in the workshop working on the jewelry pieces, but it looked to me like the gravers they were using were bolino gravers...
