Edinburgh's Master Hand Engravers
At Links Engraving, we preserve the rare tradition of hand engraving. Our expert brings decades of artistry to every piece, hand-cutting designs with a level of soul and precision that only a human hand can achieve. This timeless skill ensures each inscription is a masterpiece of balance and elegance. By focusing on these time-honored techniques, we transform your valued possessions into unique heirlooms, celebrating life’s milestones with true craftsmanship.
Engraving Tools
To create your special piece, our master engraver use delicate, precision hand chisels called gravers. These time-honored tools, featuring polished wooden handles and custom-sharpened tips, have remained virtually unchanged for centuries. It takes years of experience just to master these handmade tools, which our team uses to remove metal and reveal your unique design as a bright, lasting work of art.
Precision Surface Engraving
Our surface engraving is a true labor of love, meticulously crafted by hand using specialised gravers to cut directly into the precious metal. We use the same artistic precision found in traditional medal die-making to achieve incredible detail. Rather than a deep carve, we layer hundreds of fine, hand-cut lines of varying depths to bring your custom design to life with a stunning, light-catching finish.
Honoring Excellence by Hand
Our master engraver applies years of artistry to honor your achievements, meticulously hand-cutting names into trophies and annual awards with incredible precision. This timeless craft requires a steady hand and a deep level of skill to ensure each letter is perfectly spaced and beautifully balanced on the surface. Because every award tells a story of success, our highly skilled engraver uses specialised tools to create bright, lasting inscriptions that celebrate milestones with a touch of elegance.
