Here is something new that I'm doing on the rose engine. It's called "guilloche", and it is a lost art. A simple explanation is that the technique is hand engraving with the aid of the rose engine. Here are some sample photos. The first is a 1 3/4" pendant done in Argentium silver, second is a closeup of the pendant. Lines are 0.015" apart and 0.002" deep on this one.
The second is a 2" pendant done in Argentium silver with a kind of rope pattern border and a sunburst center. I like the shape of the open spaces on this one.
This one is a 2 1/2" Afzelia burl pendant with an inlaid 1 3/4" Argentium silver medallion that has a flower petal design.
Earrings are also available. Other patterns are available. You can find me at
