Diamond Drag

Diamond Drag Engraving, also known as traditional “Scratch Engraving” is accomplished simply by dragging a diamond tipped cutter across the material’s surface. This leaves an elegantly thin gouged line into the surface of the material. Diamond Drag engraving is ideal for any item where a traditional engraved look is desired. You often see this type of engraving on watches, rings, silver plates, and jewelry because it can carve very small text in the most precise manner. This engraving technique is also very good for utilitarian industrial engraving since there are very few surfaces that a diamond can’t mark. Diamond Drag Engraving can be used on curves and lines, but unfortunately not on solid areas.

The best thing about Diamond Drag Engraving is that it sparkles! It reflects light in a way that you don’t get with other types of engraving.
