This is a start-to-finish jewelry lesson on the xTool F1 Ultra using stainless steel
test cards and a necklace blank. I’m not handing you one magic setting. I want you
to have a process you can repeat on silver, gold-plated and rose-gold-plated blanks.

I use the fiber source because it’s made for marking metal. I also explain the difference
between annealing, which heats stainless steel to leave a smooth dark mark, and 
deeper engraving, which removes material and can leave an edge that catches delicate
clothing.

In xTool Creative Space, I build test grids, pick a font, size and align the design,
compare speed and power combinations and use framing and Smart Fill before I touch
the real necklace. Test cards give you dozens of tries for about what one blank 
costs, so that’s the place to figure out your settings.

Then I move the settings I picked over to the necklace, align it and mark it in 
real time. The same testing approach works on the original F1, just with different
starting settings, because understanding your material and your test process matters
more than copying a preset.
