PreviousStamped Earrings - Beginner Project. (Visit this link)
Here is a project that gets right to basics: We set a hard thing (steel tool) on a softer thing (copper, brass or sterling) and hit it with a hammer. As any child could predict, the tool will leave a mark. When we pile up enough marks, we make a pattern. These earrings have been designed to use extremely simple tools that can be made from hardware store items. The path of jewelry technology is a long and interesting one, but like all paths, it has to start somewhere, often with a technique as simple as place-hit-repeat.
