This robust metal stamp precisely inscribes "STERLING" onto your silver pieces with a single, confident strike.

What it does

Engineered for clean, deep impressions, this straight punch bar transfers the "STERLING" mark directly onto your metal. Its hardened steel construction ensures the raised characters remain sharp through repeated use, delivering a consistent, legible debossed mark on sheet, wire, or finished items. The balanced design focuses hammer force for optimal striking efficiency.

How to use it

  • Position the stamp firmly on your workpiece.
  • Strike the punch squarely with a jewellery hammer.
  • Wipe clean after use for longevity.

Who it's for

For UK silversmiths and jewellers who mark their own sterling silver creations. It's also ideal for advanced jewellery students and serious hobbyists seeking professional-standard results for their work. Official UK hallmarks are applied only by an assay office.

Common questions at the bench

How do I get a clean mark?
Support the piece on a solid steel surface, such as a bench block, or on a steel ring mandrel for a ring. Hold the stamp upright with its face flat on the work and strike once, firmly and squarely. One firm blow gives a cleaner mark than several light ones, and a second blow can double the mark if the stamp has moved.
What can I mark with it?
Check this product's description for what it is made to mark, and use it only on material softer than the stamp. Do not strike hardened steel or other hard material: it can chip or flatten the face of the stamp.
Is a mark struck with this an official mark?
No. Official UK hallmarks are applied only by an assay office. A mark you strike yourself, such as a maker's mark or a metal content mark, marks your own work and does not replace one.
How should I look after it?
Wipe it clean and dry after use and store it so the face does not knock against other tools. A chipped or flattened face shows in every mark it makes.
