Patented method includes obtaining a polished sapphire wafer and applying decoration to the sapphire wafer, also includes cutting the sapphire wafer into discrete windows. Application was filed in july 2012, various techniques are described, including the use of IR and pulse lasers of sufficient power to make clean cuts.
