Etching might be the most versatile way to add texture, pattern, interest, and one-of-a-kind-ness to your metal jewelry designs. With etched jewelry, you're not limited by the patterns or textures you can achieve through hammering, with rolling plates, or pre-patterned metals you buy from jewelry suppliers. Rubber stamps add a lot of options to etching metal, but there's still more, because you can draw your own designs or use photographs in etching. Etching draws from a truly unlimited amount of design possibilities for enhancing metal.
