America's Cup Trophy - The 'Auld Mug'

12/7/2017

 
Ray was lucky enough to see the America's Cup trophy in person whilst he was on work experience at Garrard & Co back in 1995.  Garrard & Co craftsman manufactured the cup back in 1848 and it is now the oldest international sporting trophy.  

Since the below photo was taken the trophy has grown in size quite significantly with a whole new silver plinth being added to the bottom to allow enough room for more champions to have their name engraved on it.

​The Cup was badly damaged in an attack in 1997 in New Zealand (click here for more information) and had to be shipped back to the UK for Garrard & Co to carry out the extensive restorations.  It took the silversmiths 3 months and the Cup was then flown back to New Zealand in a first class seat of it's own!

Not many people have had the chance to see traditional hand engraving done.  The below video is a short example of how Ray works - with a hand push graver, eyeglass and GRS vice.  In this video he is engraving a script monogram onto a sterling silver ring.  You can see how the letter 'G' is almost completed in just one single cut.

Testimonial

11/8/2016

 
This morning we received a lovely email from another very happy client...

"After exhaustive years of research to decide on what I wanted to be engraved on our family signet ring it was critical to find the appropriate craftsman to achieve our wishes.

Rays very professional service and wealth of experience reassured me from the very first point of contact that I was going to achieve quality work and I certainly wasn’t disappointed at the final outcome.

Along with providing enlightening progressive photos of the engraving process I was also delighted to receive  copies of the final waxed impression from his painstaking work confirming a very significant result.  I still find it hard to comprehend how Ray got to do such exacting work underneath the ring band?

Our family places enormous value and gratitude on this excellent workmanship by Ray.


I would highly recommend Ray Hood - London Engraver for quality workmanship, value and services provided.  And a nice bloke to top it off!"
​Peter, NSW, Australia
