History of Innovation
At The Beginning
Before PhotoScribe was founded, David Benderly operated a jewelry manufacturing company in New York. At the time, the industry was still marking most of its precious metals with a hammer and stamp. This required re-polishing and sometimes re-shaping during the post-process.
He realized that the industry could benefit from the efficiency of advanced hallmarking technology, as it would eliminate post-processing procedures. In 1995, the company purchased its first laser and started hallmarking jewelry. Most of this was done on rings inside the shank, with karat and company logo.
Pursuing All Lasers Can Do
When manufacturing started to shift overseas, Mr. Benderly took it as a chance to dive into his scientific background. He began imagining other applications for lasers, writing the algorithm to control motion. After some trials, he created the first photographic laser to write fine lines and graphic images on gold. The business soon transformed into PhotoScribe.
