Gravírozva

Gravírozva is a Hungarian term that functions as the past participle of the verb gravírozni, meaning to engrave. It describes a surface on which marks, inscriptions, or decorative designs have been created by removing or displacing material. The result is typically a recessed marking, though some techniques can create raised elements depending on the method and material used.

Engraving can be performed by manual means, using tools such as gravers or burins to incise lines into metal, wood, stone, or other substrates. Modern methods include laser engraving, which uses focused light to remove material with high precision, and chemical or acid etching, which erodes the surface to produce a design. The choice of technique affects legibility, depth, and durability of the marking.

Common applications of gravírozva items include jewelry, medals and coins, plaques, architectural details, glassware, and commemorative objects. It is also used for engraving inscriptions on instruments, tools, or keepsakes, where longevity and readability are important. In product descriptions and catalogues, gravírozva signals that a piece bears a permanent inscription or design rather than a printed or painted motif.

Materials frequently subjected to engraving include metals (such as steel, silver, and gold), glass, wood, ceramic, and stone. The quality of gravírozva work depends on the material’s hardness, the tool or method used, and the intended depth of the mark.
