Hi all,
I've been presented with 2 silver goblets and been asked to engrave them. Trouble is I've never attempted silver on the laser.

Can it be done ?

Thanks
Dave

I have done some sterling silver and some german silver with CerMark and it turned out well. I would caution you that not all silver is the same and it can be a bit of difficult to get a good look out of it.
Personally - it would not be worth to risk to laser on Silver wedding goblets unless you feel comfortable in replacing them.
Best suggestion is to diamond drag or burnish them.

Can it be done - maybe? Question is - Is it worth the risK?
