Product description

  • Specification

    The ivy leaf design measures approximately:
    Width: 14.2mm
    Height: 15.5mm
    Depth: 0.6mm

    This impression die is manufactured from mild steel and measures approximately 20mm thick and 40mm in diameter. Made in England, UK.

  • Instructions

    Can I use this tool with a hammer and a punch?

    If your setup is rigid and solid, you can produce this design with a hammer and punch. However, you will get better results using a press.

    Can I use this tool with a hydraulic press?

    Yes, all Gemina impression dies and shot plates can be used in a press. Ensure your metal is annealed regularly before you begin. Intermediate annealing may be required to achieve a full impression.

    How much silver do I use with this design?

    Use sufficient sheet to cover the design.

    What shape of silver can I use?

    Flat sheet:

    Cut sheet to size so that it covers the design. Press (or hammer) until you have an outline of the design. Trim, anneal and repeat until you have a full depth impression. Remember to use sheet that is thicker than the impression depth of the die. Alternatively, you can use thinner sheet with urethane (or a soft metal pusher) to create a hollow impression.

    Removing your impression from the die

    Occasionally, some dies can 'hold on' to your metal. This is more common when using a press compared to hammering. Ensure the dies are clean before use. If you wish, you can apply a very small amount of oil into the die before forming as this can help removal. Excess metal will create a flange around the design that will aid in removal after hammering or pressing. Carefully use a thin bladed knife under the excess metal to lift the impression out of the die.
