Mark MorrisHi Trish, the cross is hand engraved. I'm not familiar with etching, to be honest, but it probably could have been done that way too. Although I'm not sure how the line quality with etching compares. The pieces themselves were cut out using a bench-top... moreHi Trish, the cross is hand engraved.
