"Red coral" pendent engraved with a wave scene
Instruction
Information
Looking to expand how to leverage the engraving capability to jewelry. This is my second try using a piece of "red coral" and engraving ocean waves onto it.
Instruction
Step1: Prepare material for engraving
Place your jewelry piece in the machine. Select the ruler icon to auto focus the laser. Next select the “golf flag” to define the processing area. Since this the piece I had was more rectangular I used that to map the area. I made sure to place the image within that area and where I wanted it placed. I then checked the processing area to double check. I modified the slate parameters for engraving - using a power of 48, 180 speed and increased the lines as this was a detailed piece to 180 lines per cm.
Step2: Process the piece
Process the piece. Since this was a jewelry piece I flipped the pendant over (like it would naturally spin) and made sure the image would be the correct side up. I reprocessed the image on the second side using the same settings but updating the processing area.
Step3: Add other beads and string
I used waxed cotton string and added 2 white accent beads. If you use other materials you may need to experiment on the settings. Good luck!
