How to choose

Pick a stamp face size to suit the piece: 1.5 to 3 mm for rings and fine jewellery, 4 to 5 mm for cuffs and pendants. Always stamp on a hardened steel block; a soft surface absorbs the strike and leaves faint, uneven marks.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use these for official UK hallmarks?
No. UK hallmarks are applied only by an assay office (London, Birmingham, Sheffield or Edinburgh). These stamps are for maker's marks and decorative lettering.

What stamp size should I start with?
3 mm is the most versatile for rings, pendants and charms. 5 mm suits cuffs and larger pieces; 1.5 or 2 mm suits signet ring initials.

What are disc cutters for?
A disc cutter punches clean, flat blanks from metal sheet: slide the sheet into the slot, insert the punch and strike it with a hammer. The blanks can then be domed, stamped or pierced.

Do you dispatch the same day?
We aim to. Orders placed before 2pm UK time, Monday to Friday, are targeted for same-day dispatch; later orders are dispatched from the next working day. It is a target, not a guarantee. Most UK orders arrive 2-3 working days after dispatch.
