Gravers for professional engraving and stone setting

Precision tools are essential in jewelry making, engraving, and gem setting. At Aktiv Guld, you’ll find a carefully selected range of gravers and graver handles aimed at professional goldsmiths, engravers, and stone setters. Whether you work with traditional hand engraving, gem setting, or shaping fine details in metal, the right graver is indispensable.

We offer loose gravers, graver sets, and ergonomically designed graver handles – all of high quality and from reputable manufacturers meeting the demands of a modern jewelry workshop.

What is a graver?

A graver is a specialized tool with a sharpened tip and profiled steel used to cut, shape, or engrave metal. Gravars are commonly used by engravers for hand engraving and by goldsmiths and stone setters for precise cuts and adjustments. There are many types of gravers – for example, flat, round, onglette, narrow bevel, and more – each with unique functions.

The grip is provided by a graver handle, traditionally made from wood. The handle ensures a secure hold and offers optimal control and comfort, even during extended work.

Choosing the right graver for the job

The right tool makes all the difference. When selecting a graver, consider:

• Shape and profile: Flat gravers are ideal for straight lines and edges, while round or onglette gravers excel for curves, ornamentation, and fine details.
• Size and angle: For very fine lines and details, use gravers with a lower angle and thinner profile. For removing larger amounts of material or deeper cuts, a wider angle may be more effective.
• Material and hardness: Professional gravers are made of high-alloy steel that holds its edge and can be resharpened repeatedly.

At Aktiv Guld, you’ll find a wide selection of gravers in various profiles – including narrow bevel, flat, knife, onglette, and round – allowing you to match your tools precisely to the task.

Ergonomic graver handles – better comfort and control

A graver handle is more than just a grip. It must feel comfortable in your hand and allow precise work without straining your wrist or fingers. That’s why we offer multiple handle types – from classic ball-shaped wooden handles to ergonomically shaped handles with flat edges that prevent rolling and enhance control.

For extra power and improved ergonomics, an air system can make your work more efficient, reduce strain on hands and wrists, and provide a more stable work rhythm.

Sharpening and maintenance

To achieve optimal results, your gravers must always be sharp. A dull graver can damage surfaces and produce inaccurate cuts. At Aktiv Guld, we offer sharpening stones and complete tool sharpening systems to keep your gravers in perfect condition.

Engraving in evolution – from handwork to high technology

Where work was once purely manual, many professionals now use mechanical engraving systems and advanced laser technology to achieve consistent results – especially for repeated patterns, fine details, deeper engravings, and series production. Laser machines also allow precise engraving across materials like metal, plastic, and leather – without physical contact with the piece.

At Aktiv Guld, you’ll find both traditional tools like gravers and graver handles, as well as the latest in engraving technology, including modern laser engraving. We also provide professional advice and courses, whether you prefer hand precision or machine efficiency.
