At Fairfax & Roberts, our trained engravers age-old techniques to create your Signet rings:
The traditional deep intaglio/seal engraving is the most popular method of engraving Signet rings. We create your design by carving deeply into the metal, hand engraving the design in reverse. Once the seal engraving is completed, we use the engraved Signet ring to produce a 3D wax impression – “The Seal”. When you finally receive your Signet ring, you will also get an encapsulated impression of your design and a wax taper to make your own seals.
Surface Cut Engraving is similar to the traditional deep seal engraving but is employed for viewing the design rather than sealing. Lines of various widths are cut until the design is brought to life. This is quite a popular choice for engraving and is often used for engraving initials in wedding bands and adding a pattern to fine jewellery.
Every seal ring created by Fairfax & Roberts is delivered to you with an encapsulated wax impression of your seal engraved design. This presents a precious and memorable artwork of your seal ring that can be used by you or future generations who would like to own a Fairfax & Roberts Signet ring.
