Chasing & Repoussé Forming Hammer — Silversmith Embossing Mallet, Metal Working Jewellery

Chasing from the front, forming from the back — this hammer covers both halves of the repoussé conversation. The flat face, with its slightly softened edges, drives chasing punches with control; flip to the domed face to move metal and emboss from the reverse. It works across precious and non-precious metals for jewellery and small-scale decorative pieces.

Both striking faces are highly polished, so nothing the hammer touches picks up stray marks, with the head finished in black between the working surfaces. A smooth, straight-grained hardwood handle gives the balance and feedback that fine embossing strokes depend on. A steady companion for silversmiths and metalsmiths doing decorative work.

• Dual-head design with one flat chasing face and one domed forming face.
• Both striking faces are highly polished to prevent marring soft metals.
• The flat face features slightly softened edges for controlled chasing work.
• Fitted with a smooth, straight-grained hardwood handle for balance and control.
• Head is finished in black between the polished working surfaces.

Who it's for

This hammer is an essential tool for bench jewellers, silversmiths, and metalsmiths engaged in decorative work. It is particularly suited for artisans specialising in chasing, repoussé, and embossing techniques on jewellery and small-scale metalwork.
