Hammer Types

Ball Pein

A ball pein hammer is a fundamental tool in jewelry making, cherished for its versatility and precision. It features a rounded hammerhead on one side and a flat face on the other. This distinctive design aids in shaping, texturing, and forming metal components with accuracy. Jewelers employ the rounded end for riveting, rounding wire ends, and creating gentle curves, while the flat side is ideal for striking and flattening metals without marring. Crafted with different weights for various tasks, the ball pein hammer ensures controlled force, enabling artisans to refine details and create intricate textures, making it an indispensable companion in the jewelry maker's arsenal.

Chasing 

A chasing hammer, an indispensable tool in jewelry making, embodies precision and artistry. Distinguished by its dual-faced head, it features a flat side and a slightly rounded side. This design facilitates a multitude of tasks, such as texturing, shaping, and forming metal pieces. Jewelers employ the flat face for striking without leaving marks, while the rounded side is used to create graceful curves and add texture. The balanced weight and ergonomic handle provide control, allowing artisans to refine intricate details. From shaping delicate wire to embossing intricate patterns, the chasing hammer is a masterful instrument that combines functionality and creativity in the realm of jewelry crafting.

Doming

The doming hammer, a prized tool in jewelry making, embodies the essence of precision and transformation. It boasts a dual-sided head, one featuring a smooth, convex surface and the other a flat face. Craftsmen utilize this tool to effortlessly shape metal into elegant, curved forms. By gently tapping the metal on the domed side, intricate concave shapes are achieved. Conversely, the flat side aids in flattening and securing components without distortion. The doming hammer's weight, combined with its ergonomic handle, ensures controlled force for intricate designs. This tool is the bridge between imagination and tangible artistry, allowing jewelers to breathe life into their metalwork creations.

Nylon

The nylon hammer, a versatile gem in jewelry making, epitomizes gentle power. Comprising a sturdy handle and soft, non-abrasive heads, it's ideal for delicate tasks. Craftsmen employ the nylon hammer to shape, flatten, and texture metals without leaving marks. Its impact is controlled, making it suitable for setting gemstones and adjusting components. The soft heads come in various sizes, catering to intricate designs. This tool's unique attribute lies in its ability to create desired effects without damaging surfaces. The marriage of strength and gentleness in the nylon hammer allows artisans to finesse their creations with subtlety, ensuring precision and finesse in every stroke.

Planishing 

A planishing hammer, a true artisan's ally in jewelry making, embodies finesse and refinement. Characterized by dual faces – one flat and one slightly rounded – it's a master of metal manipulation. Craftsmen utilize this tool to impart smooth, flawless finishes to metals, erasing imperfections with controlled strikes. The flat side is employed for broad, uniform shaping, while the rounded side imparts delicate curvature and detail. The balanced weight and ergonomic handle offer optimal control, enabling jewelers to transform ordinary metals into exquisite pieces of wearable art. The planishing hammer dances between strength and subtlety, playing a vital role in sculpting the elegance of metalwork creations.

Bench Block

A bench block is an indispensable tool in jewelry making due to its foundational role in enhancing precision and control. Crafted from sturdy materials like steel or iron, it provides a stable and resilient surface for various tasks. When shaping, flattening, or stamping metals, the bench block's flat, smooth texture ensures accurate and controlled strikes, resulting in refined outcomes. Its weight prevents unwanted vibrations, facilitating intricate detailing. With a non-reflective surface, it reduces glare, aiding in precise work. Whether forming delicate curves or creating intricate textures, a bench block elevates craftsmanship by providing a reliable, solid foundation for the intricate art of jewelry making.
