Brief Engraving History
Engraving is an act that has been around since the beginning of time. It was used to depict events onto rocks. Engraving can be traced back as far as 60,000 B.C. The use of glass and hard stone for engraving came along not far after, and can be traced back as far as the first century A.D. Today we use engraving for inspiration, identification, and heartfelt quotes.
