JMJ Engraving Studio
At JMJ Engraving Studio, traditional craftsmanship meets modern technique. Master engraver Jacqueline Jimmink creates exquisite, fully hand-engraved designs on jewelry, knives, buckles, firearms, watches, silverware, motorcycle parts, memorial pieces, and more.
Every engraving is
personal & truly unique
With international training and decades of experience, Jacqueline combines centuries-old engraving traditions with contemporary pneumatic methods. This fusion allows her to deliver exceptional quality—from classic ornamentation to modern graphics, from detailed imagery to elegant script—on both precious and base metals.
Whether you bring your own object or choose from her curated selection of engravable items, Jacqueline works closely with you to shape a meaningful design. Handwriting, signatures, children’s drawings, monograms, coats of arms, ancient symbols, Eastern scripts—almost anything can be transformed into a lasting hand-engraved artwork. She also restores worn antique engravings with care and precision.
In addition, Jacqueline offers lectures, training, and masterclasses for craft schools, colleges, conferences, events, and individuals. As one of the few remaining master engravers, she is dedicated to preserving and passing on the art of hand engraving.
Timeless craftsmanship. Personal expression. Limitless possibilities.
Atelier JMJ offers various types of engravings
Flat engraving
A shallow superficial engraving, made using engravers or burins or also by means of a hammer and chisel technique ('bulino' technique)
Low relief engraving
The background has been removed and then satin-finished with punches. The image remains flat on the surface, but is now more expressive and pronounced on the surface because the difference in level creates contrast.
High relief engraving
The background has been removed and reworked with punches. The image is modeled with punches and cutters, giving it a more sculptural look.
Metal inlay engraving
The inlay of a softer metal such as pure silver or gold into a harder metal such as steel or titanium.
'Bulino' engraving
The refined Italian point technique made with the "bulino" is ideal for portraits and fine engravings on steel.
Florentine engraving
A refined and sophisticated decorative technique used (usually) on jewelry. This Florentine technique has its origins in the Italian Renaissance.
