a modified font out of a book.The we sell these for $450.00
Its a quick nice sale.The roses are laid out by hand.And the diamonds are
set with the 120 graver actually all of it done with the 120.I have fortunate to studdy under Sam Alfano,Michael Dubber and all the info out on sites like this.

Thanks for your kind words sam.
I also consider myself Lucky to have studied under you.
Im also posting a picture of a Nice Pendant I learned alot at your class.
The crown was engraved with a 90.Learning to sharpen really changed my
ability to engrave.Im working with a Japanese sword maker here is a tsuba
The inlay was done with a round graver even the undercut.Thanks Joe

Joe,

What beautifull pieces you've made and engraved. I went to your website after reading Sams comment about your wax carvings... wow...I'm blown away your work is very impressive. I'm a hobbyist jewelry maker and engraver and it really motivates me when I see the fantastic work that people produce. I'm still starting out but want to thank you for sharing.
