I am often asked to engrave my
copper
rings. I do not have the equipment to do a professional engraving job, but I do have the tools to engrave free-hand. I quickly wrote a date on the outside of this ring to show a potential customer what a free hand engraving would look like. It was sooo difficult to take a decent picture. Too much glare from the metal. I had to darken the photograph a bit. I usually don't engrave on the outside, it's mostly on the inside of the rings that I am asked to do this.
I think the free-hand engraving adds and compliments the rustic feel of
my rings!
