I've agreed to engrave a french poesy ring for a friend of mine. However I'm having trouble figuring out the best way to engrave the lettering. FYI - This is my first attempt at lettering on a piece of Jewellery....don't worry however it's not a sentimental piece, its a silver ring I cast in my shop.
I tried engraving the slogan yesterday on a practice plate but didn't have too much success. I tried using a flat, a 90 and a 120 but my efforts don't seem to be producing very good results. I'm also not sure if I should be trying to remove material in one pass or multiple passes.
I am using a microscope and the lettering is approx 2.5mm high. For a beginner, I may have bitten off more than I can chew using this font. In any case I'm determined to get this done and would greatly appreciate any advice. I've attached a sample of the lettering.
Thanks,
