Punches by job
- Letter & number sets: 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 6mm faces in serif and sans-serif
- Design punches: floral, star, arrow, heart, pattern repeats
- Centre punches & dot punches: for drill-start marks and decorative dotting
- Hallmark-style stamps: for maker's marks (note - official UK hallmarks are applied only by assay offices)
- Bench blocks: hardened, flat and true - the surface that every punch strike lands on
How to choose
Pick a stamp face size relative to the piece you're stamping: 2mm-3mm for rings and fine jewellery, 4mm-6mm for cuffs and pendants. Always stamp on a hardened steel block - a soft surface absorbs the strike and leaves faint, inconsistent marks. For alignment, a stamp guide or magnetic bar pays for itself on the first long stamped sentence.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use these for official UK hallmarks?
No - UK hallmarks are applied only by an assay office (London, Birmingham, Sheffield, Edinburgh). These stamps are for maker's marks and decorative lettering.
What stamp size should I start with?
3mm is the most versatile for rings, pendants and charms. 6mm for cuffs and bigger statement pieces. 2mm for signet ring initials.
Serif or sans-serif letter stamps?
Personal preference - serif reads more traditional and shows better on irregular surfaces. Sans-serif is cleaner on polished flat metal.
Do you dispatch the same day?
Yes - orders placed before 2pm UK weekdays ship same-day.
Do you offer trade or school pricing?
Yes - email info@toolsmithltd.co.uk for trade and education pricing.
