Hi

    Can anyone tell me what technique I could use to engrave or create
    text on the outside of a full round ring, or on a flat surface? 
    Would it be engraving or should the text be placed on a wax mold
    prior to casting?  How would the text be placed on the wax?  What
    tools should be used to ensure that the text is clear, legible and
    deep enough?  I have tried using stamps to imprint wax but find the
    impression after casting not clear enough.  A jewelry designer by
    the name of Jeanine Payer has text on her jewelry and I'm wondering
    if anyone is familiar with it and could tell me what process she
    uses? 

Thanks
Susan
