Thicker-gauge sheet does not care about light hammers. This 16oz embossing head moves silver and copper in fewer, calmer blows — the highly polished full-dome face for broad repoussé and holloware forming, the gently bowed face when the shaping needs more restraint.

At 11¾ inches overall, the smooth shaped wooden handle gives room for a controlled swing without the weight becoming tiring on larger projects. If your rack is still growing, our guide to jeweller's hammers puts this one in context.

  • Features a highly polished, full dome face for broad embossing work.
  • The opposing face is gently bowed for more controlled shaping.
  • Substantial 16oz head efficiently forms sheet metal in fewer blows.
  • Fitted with a smooth, shaped wooden handle for a secure grip.
  • All stock is held in the UK for immediate dispatch.

Who it's for

A core tool for UK silversmiths, holloware makers, and jewellers engaged in repoussé and large-scale metal forming. Its weight makes it particularly suitable for those working with thicker gauges of copper and silver sheet, reducing fatigue on larger projects.

Hazel N. ★★★★★

Finally, a hammer that doesn't bounce off 18-gauge copper. The polished dome face leaves a smooth, consistent texture without the need to re-strike each mark. It feels perfectly balanced in my hand for long repoussé sessions.

Mia G. ★★★★★

The weight difference is obvious the first time you use it—16 ounces means the metal moves on the first couple of hits instead of needing a dozen taps. I’m working with 18-gauge copper right now and the full-dome face shapes it cleanly without leaving deep dings.

Penelope ★★★★★

The polished faces glide over the metal almost like glass, and the extra weight finally lets me move 18-gauge copper without fighting it. I used to dread planishing, but now it's almost meditative.
