Shape precise domes for earrings and pendants with this focused hardwood punch and steel die set.

What it does

This compact tool set enables the consistent forming of metal sheet into smooth hemispherical domes. The hardwood punches, designed to minimise surface marring on softer metals like sterling silver or copper, are gently struck against the metal placed within the steel die's cavity. This action pushes the metal into the die, creating repeatable domed components for your jewellery designs, ideal for earrings, pendant elements, or decorative accents.

How to use it

Place metal sheet over the die cavity.
Strike punch firmly and repeatedly.
Store punches and die safely.

Who it's for

Ideal for UK bench jewellers and silversmiths focused on producing specific domed components efficiently. This set replaces the need for larger, multi-cavity dapping blocks when working with two common sizes, streamlining production for intermediate and professional makers.

Common questions at the bench

What weight hammer should I start with?

For most bench work, 4–8 oz is the sweet spot. Lighter hammers (2–4 oz) suit fine detail and chasing punches; 6–8 oz suits forging and texture work. Avoid anything over 12 oz unless you specifically need a raising hammer.

Can I use this on annealed silver and copper?

Yes — these hammers are designed for non-ferrous metals: silver (sterling, fine, britannia), copper, brass, bronze, and aluminium. The polished face will not transfer marks to clean annealed stock when used correctly. For mild steel work, use a separate hammer.

How should I care for it?

Wipe the face down after each session to prevent any tarnish from work residue marking your next piece. If the head develops nicks, polish them out with fine-grit emery and a buffing mop — a marked hammer face transfers marks to your work.

What is in the box?

One hammer with the head and handle fitted, ready for the bench. Polished faces are protected with a thin oil film — wipe before first use.
