About the art of intaglio

The art of intaglio is one of the oldest techniques of stone carving. There are two types of Italy - reverse and direct. The differences between the carving techniques are insignificant: the reverse intaglio is performed in a mirror reflection on the back side of a transparent stone, while the direct intaglio is carved on the front surface of a usually opaque or poorly transparent stone.  

The technology of intaglio creation has not changed over the millennia. Among technical innovations - electric drive, microscope, diamond tools, which only allowed to reduce the time of manufacture of the product. At present, it takes about one month to create an intaglio of 1 sq. cm. depending on the complexity of the drawing.

Reverse intaglios are items used either as inserts in jewelry or as independent pieces of art with collectible value.

Direct intaglio gives a true image, but requires constant monitoring of the depth of the carving with plasticine prints. This also applies to stamps - direct intaglios, made in a mirror reflection and carrying in addition to aesthetic value and pure application load.
