A call from out of the blue. “I have eleven bracelets. Can you do the soft silver?” Told her I could. Spent max 2.5 min on each…several, less, including my tiny signature on one of the 3 strands, inside. Call it a 30 minute job…actually less. $40. each for engraving. $440. for the job. Effective rate of $880. per hour. Silver very soft and bumpy with restricted area for the drill. Bracelets $300. each, handmade and gorgeous. No guidelines. Old #3 carbide bur.
Hand-engraving rocks!

Amen to that!
