Earlier in the year I was fortunate to spend time with the exeptionally talented Master Engraver Sam Alfano in Louisiana. Kept me busy since then, as I took lots of photos, but am only now finally grabbing a chance to post a few..

| Hand engravers profiled in The Weekend Australian |
Was fortunate enough to be interviewed for this article in the Australian recently. Always love to talk about my favourite subject! The article included; "While it may take hours of work in her shop and at home at night, Buckley is passionate about creating individualised pieces of heirloom jewellery.
"I've always had fairytale themes and with Renaissance jewels and inscriptions, there's something rustic about it, there's that soul and humanity, and it's not something that's mass produced.
"It's about each piece having its own charm and character and it can be passed through the generations."
