The full range of colors for appealing engravings

Agate Layered Stones

The interesting texture with white layers in natural agate has inspired engravers since the earliest times to produce beautiful engravings such as cameos and intaglios, as well as heraldry and monogram engravings.

We recreate nature and produce the required gemstones or layered stones according to recipes that have a long tradition in our company.
