Engine-turned engraving is a precise and intricate craft that has been practiced in Britain for centuries, used to create stunning geometric patterns on metal objects such as watches, jewelry, and silverware. This technique, which requires specialized machinery and a high level of skill, was once highly valued for its detailed and decorative results. However, engine-turned engraving is now endangered due to the rise of modern manufacturing techniques and a decline in demand for handcrafted items. Preserving this craft is essential for keeping Britain’s artistic and industrial heritage alive. By supporting the few remaining engravers who practice engine-turning, we ensure that this remarkable form of craftsmanship continues to be appreciated and passed down to future generations.
