Description

A Hong Kong gemstone engraving is known for its exquisite craftsmanship and is entirely handcrafted. Here's how the process typically works: First, a selection of gemstones is made, and suitable gemstones are chosen based on color, clarity, hardness, and shape. Commonly used varieties include amethyst, rose quartz, jade, and rock crystal. Then comes surface preparation. The stone is ground and polished to create a smooth surface suitable for engraving. This is often done with diamond tools due to the hardness of gemstones. Hand engraving. Artists use fine engraving styluses, miniature chisels, or rotary tools to carve figures such as dragons, spirits, angels, or animals into the stone. This requires great patience and precision. After engraving, the details are refined and sometimes accentuated with additional polishing techniques to add depth and brilliance. All our gemstone engravings are of the highest quality and entirely handcrafted.
