You can try with one good "whack" as well. Get some practice pieces, maybe copper. Try one hammer vs. the "tap - tap - tap" method I showed. Let my know how it works Shelly.
Put it on something that matches the contour of the wire. I use a piece of hardwood that I have ground out a little to the shape and size of the 1/2 round. Hope this helps. Doug
I am trying to stamp the inside of a few rings with the curved metal stamp just like in the video. My question is besides holding it with your hand are there any other tools or methods or gadgets whatever to keep the ring in place so you can get the inside of it stamped
I have always just held in place and stamped with my hands, but there is a “jig” that holds the stamp so you can have both hands free to stabilize during stamping. I have one of these jigs, that I have never used. If you are interested, I can sell it to you. Doug
Hi , I am a hobby craft jewellery designer , I am using 999 silver could result any problem , I see if we use 925 they turn black , is there any specific reason for making silver in 925 please share the myths
NA International, it is and has been an industry standard for a while. The alloy, usually copper based, makes it a little harder and last a while longer if worn daily.

It was always mistery to me. Thank you sir!
My pleasure.
Helpful for me, thank you! Didn't really know why some stamps are bent...now it makes sense. Also will try tapping rather than whacking!! Thanks.
Kat Dawes glad to help. Go to JewelryMonk.com and let me know how it works.
Thanks, I have to wait more for a stamping jig/rig.
Very helpful video. Thank you a lot.
Your Welcome.
I never make this work. I gave up, but I will try it your way tomorrow. Thnx Doug.

Thanks!
You are welcome.
Good video. But how do you stamp a hallmark on a ring that is made from half round wire?
Put it on something that matches the contour of the wire. I use a piece of hardwood that I have ground out a little to the shape and size of the 1/2 round.
Hope this helps.

Do you stamp your rings before or after polishing ? Thank you for the video. :)
Patricia, I do it before polishing, because there is usually a small flat spot or deformation from stamping.
@@DougNapierJewelryMonk thank you for the reply! :)
Hello any advice on how to stamp a half round not to scuff opposite side???!!!!
Paris, stamp on wood, and maybe even grind away a dimple in the wood to conform to the 1/2 round shank.

Can I see the type you talking about?? Is still available??
Hi Doug, how do you go about stamping a silver ring that is thin (say 2mm) and round?
Maria use a small stamp, support it well, and roll the stamp so it all gets imprinted.
Great, thanks for the quick response 👍🏼 I think I’m going to need to practice this a lot!! 😄
@@mimomaria6396 Get some scrap copper sheet and wire and practice. have fun!
