General Information on Engraving Lines
Engraved lines on the outside of an engagement ring shank can be added for a variety of reasons but in general they enhance or focus aspects of the design that wouldn't otherwise be clearly seen.
Running parallel to the shank
In this example, a single simple engraved line adds a little extra texture to the engagement ring design as well as emphasising its symmetry. The line also helps to draw the eye up towards the central focus of the ring, the laser cut amethyst.
Running across the shank
In this example, a pair of small lines have been added either side of the two side diamonds. This lines help to emphasise the gentle curve of the shank as well as provide extra symmetry to contrast with the overall asymmetrical nature of the design.
The engagement ring at the top of the page is inspired by the work of a particular artist. The engraved lines are characteristic of this artist's work and are mimicked in the engagement ring design.
Other directions
The engraved engagement ring has a pair of engraved lines that mirror the triangular diamonds on either side of the central stone. The ring is reminicient of Mackintosh designs and the engraved lines are important in making that stylistic similarity.
