Italian term or phrase: incisione a bulino mille righe
This is from a text describing a designer's jewellery:

"La materia è protagonista assoluta: l’oro 18 carati, satinato a mano con la classica **incisione a bulino mille righe**, è esaltato e reso naturalmente “imperfetto” dalla baroccatura della superficie. Il metallo abbraccia le pietre, sottolinea e valorizza con eleganza la loro luce e brillantezza"

I haven't a clue what this means. Can anyone help me?

bulino dot engraving
Explanation:
Bulino" (pronounced bo-lee-no) - refers to a Pointillism or Dot Technique. It is derived from the Italian term meaning "a small hand held graver". Today the term is used loosely, to represent the method of creating thousands of small dots or lines in the metal. This enables the control of light and dark contrasts.
