1. Why Make Laser Cut and Engraved Jewelry?
Laser technology allows makers to:
- Achieve intricate details – Clean cuts and precise engravings that are hard to replicate by hand
- Work with multiple materials – Wood, acrylic, and leather for different aesthetics
- Offer personalization – Engrave initials, dates, or symbols to create custom laser cut and engraved pendants perfect for gifting
Many Atomm creators have turned these unique laser cut jewelry designs into successful Etsy shops and seasonal collections.
2. Choosing the Right Material
Wood (Basswood, Maple, Bamboo)
