Laser Italian Charms

The introduction of the laser Italian charm brings into focus a sharper focus the extent to which computer technology has impacted every facet of society. The strong and condensed laser beam has been used to put tiny pictures and photos on Italian charms. The demand for the laser Italian charm has grown greatly. Present-day photographers have repeatedly captured in photos the Italian charms on various celebrities. Many who have seen the photos that were submitted to various publications by one or more of those photographers have desired similar jewelry. They have thus spent hours at the computer, searching online for Italian charms.

A laser Italian charm can add to the number of links on an Italian charm bracelet. A laser Italian charm can be incorporated into the band of a watch. A laser Italian charm can dress-up a bead bracelet.

How does the creator of a laser Italian charm dress-up that charm? If the charm maker wants to add color to the charm, then he or she puts either a drawing or a photograph on the charm. An enamel surface serves as the background for that drawing or photo.

Now charm makers are not the only craftsmen who add color to an enamel background. The creators of the labels on aluminum tubes also use such a background. In that case, they cover the enamel with an oil-based paint. The chemicals in the paint cross-link with one another, and thus insure the permanence of whatever letters or pictures have been painted onto the aluminum tube.

The creator of a laser Italian charm does not use any type of paint. The creation of a drawing or the reproduction of a photo on a charm demands an extremely fine level of workmanship. For that reason, the charm makers have chosen to replace the paint brush with a laser beam.

 The technology that uses a laser to create an image relies on the characteristics of static electricity. The Italian charm can be given a static charge, because the enamel coating has transformed the metal surface into an insulated object. A laser beam then touches that charged enamel surface. That laser beam comes from a corona wire.

That corona wire is used to scan the enamel surface. That enamel surface can have either a positive or a negative charge. At any point where the laser beam touches that charged surface, the surface takes on an opposite charge.

The laser beam thus creates a pattern of electrical charges. The image created by the laser beam has a charge that is the reverse of whatever charge was on the enamel surface. Of course, a laser beam can not serve as a “paint brush” on a charm with uncoated metal. Depiction of a drawing on such a charm produces a laser engraved charm.

 A laser beam has the ability to put tiny indentations on a metal surface. The laser beam can thus replace the pointed edge used by the traditional engraver. The laser beam can engrave a specific drawing on an Italian charm. 

Creation of both the laser Italian charm and the laser engraved charm relies on the use of a computer program. A computer program “tells” the laser beam what part of the charm’s surface it must hit. Each time a new drawing or photo needs to be put on an Italian charm, a new code must be fed into the needed software.
