Machine engraving uses a motorised tip guided by a computer, fast, uniform, and shallow. Hand engraving uses steel gravers pushed and rotated by a craftsman, producing variable line depth, sharper detail, and a finish that improves with age rather than fading. It is the traditional method used in fine jewellery for centuries.
