I bought a Tekton brass hammer to emboss metal jewelry on rose gold, gold and silver. I have read that a brass hammer gives much better results for this type of application and with much more stability. I've been very impressed so far. After stamping about 50-100 pieces this hammer seems to be holding up very well. There are some small dents on the hammer head from the metal punches I use, but that's to be expected. Thank you for reading and appreciating my review!
