What is Jewelry Metal Stamping?
Combining computer-controlled precision with jewelry craftsmanship for flawless results every time.
Jewelry metal stamping is the process of pressing or hammering designs, letters, numbers, or patterns onto metal surfaces using specialized dies and stamps. It is one of the most versatile and cost-effective methods for creating custom stamped jewelry, from personalized name plates to intricate decorative patterns.
Our facility supports both hand stamping for artisanal, one-of-a-kind pieces and machine stamping for high-volume production runs. Whether you need a single prototype or 50,000 units, our precision stamping process ensures consistent quality and sharp detail every time.
Metal Stamping Process
From design to finished product, every step is controlled for precision and quality.
Design & Die Preparation
Our engineers create or source custom stamping dies and tooling molds based on your artwork. For hand-stamped pieces, we select from 500+ letter stamps, number stamps, and design stamps.
Material Selection
We prepare stamping blanks in your chosen material — 316 surgical-grade stainless steel, 14K gold filled, 18K gold PVD, brass, aluminum, or sterling silver. All materials are tarnish-resistant certified.
Precision Stamping
Using hydraulic presses, mechanical stamping presses, or pneumatic presses, we apply controlled force to imprint your design. CNC stamping ensures micron-level accuracy for complex patterns.
Finishing & Quality Control
Each piece undergoes edge finishing, surface polishing, and PVD coating if required. Our QC team inspects for stamp depth consistency, alignment accuracy, and surface defect-free finish.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about partnering with us for stamped jewelry manufacturing.
The best metals for stamping are softer, malleable alloys that hold impressions well without cracking. Our top recommendations are 14K/18K gold, 925 sterling silver, brass, aluminum, and bronze. Sterling silver stamps beautifully but requires slightly more force. We generally avoid stamping on tungsten, titanium, or hardened steel as they can damage stamps.
Hand stamping uses manual hammer strikes with individual letter/design stamps. Each piece has slight variations, giving an artisanal, organic feel perfect for personalized jewelry. Machine stamping uses hydraulic or mechanical presses with dies, producing identical, perfectly aligned impressions ideal for high-volume production. We offer both services depending on your brand positioning and volume needs.
Absolutely. We design and manufacture custom stamping dies made from hardened tool steel. Lead times depend on the complexity of your design.
Our stamping services have a standard MOQ, with lower minimum order quantities available for select OEM orders. For white-label wholesale orders using existing designs, the MOQ can be as low as 50 pieces. We also offer sampling services, supporting single-piece sample production so you can confirm the final result before full-scale manufacturing.
Standard stamping depth ranges from 0.1mm to 0.3mm depending on material thickness and hardness. For deep relief stamping (up to 1mm), we use specialized coining dies and higher-tonnage hydraulic presses. The maximum practical depth is approximately 30% of the material thickness to prevent cracking or distortion.
Yes. All our 316 stainless steel and PVD-coated pieces are naturally tarnish-resistant and waterproof. For brass and copper stampings, we offer clear lacquer sealing or e-coating for added protection. Our 14K gold filled blanks are also highly resistant to tarnishing and suitable for everyday wear, including shower and swimming.
