The curved neck is the feature that sets it apart from a standard straight stamp: the bent angle lets you reach inside ring bands as well as other tight or awkward spots that a straight stamp can't access easily. It's a versatile hallmarking stamp that works across pendants, earrings, and flat pieces, with the added ability to get inside rings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed with a hammer on a steel bench block, it leaves a crisp, clean 925 impression in a single strike once you've found the right amount of force. The tip is 1.0mm high, which gives a readable mark without being so large it's awkward on narrower surfaces. Use a general purpose hammer or brass mallet rather than a hammer designed for precious metal work such as a chasing hammer or goldsmith's hammer, as these will damage over time from stamping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're new to hallmarking, the standard approach is to test on a scrap piece of silver first to dial in your hammer strike before stamping a finished piece. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWorth knowing:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurved neck gives access to ring bands and other hard-to-reach areas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduces a clean 925 hallmark impression with a single strike\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.0mm stamp size, readable on most surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse with a general purpose hammer or brass mallet and steel bench block, not a precious metal hammer such as a chasing or goldsmith's hammer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTest on scrap silver first to find the right hammer weight\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Pod Jewellery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40231505395754,"sku":"112.814","price":24.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0643\/8299\/files\/925-Hallmark-carat-stamp-Punch_Pod-Jewellery.jpg?v=1763270998","url":"https:\/\/podjewellery.com.au\/products\/925-curved-carat-hallmark-stamp-punch","provider":"Pod Jewellery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
