A popular pendant motif with awkward inside corners — slow going with a piercing saw, instant with a punch. This set blanks Gothic crosses in four sizes, 15.01 × 20.32 mm up to 25.52 × 34.55 mm, for pendants, charms and mixed-media work, each one identical to the last.
Punches and the roughly 76 mm square die block are hardened carbon tool steel. Feed the die annealed silver, gold or copper sheet no thicker than 18 gauge (1.02 mm), strike firmly with a mallet, and keep cutting lubricant in the routine — that is what preserves the fine detail in the cutting edges.
Cuts four distinct Gothic Cross shapes from non-ferrous sheet metal.
Punch sizes (approx): 15x20mm, 18x25mm, 23x31mm, and 26x35mm.
Suits soft metals up to 18 gauge (1.02 mm) including silver, gold, and copper.
Die block and punches are machined from hardened carbon tool steel for durability.
Compact 3-inch (approx. 76 mm) square die block for stable benchtop use.
Our steel letter, number, and design punches are heat-treated to strike non-ferrous metals: silver (sterling, fine), copper, brass, bronze, aluminium, gold. Striking hardened steel will damage the face. For pewter and very soft alloys, use light strikes.
What size impression do I need?
1–2 mm for ring shanks and small pieces (initials, hallmark-style); 3–4 mm for pendant backs and signed plaques; 5 mm+ for presentation pieces and stamped jewellery components. Bigger is not always better — a clean small mark reads better than a struggle with an oversized one.
What do I strike it with?
A 1–2 lb brass mallet on a polished steel bench block. Do not use a steel hammer — it will deform the punch over time. One firm strike beats two soft ones for a clean impression.
How do I keep the punch sharp?
Polished punches stay sharp for thousands of strikes if you are hitting cleanly on a flat block. If the face starts blurring impressions, polish lightly with 600-grit emery, then a buffing mop on a polishing motor. Replace before the face deforms further.
