Why do jewelers use hammers and mallets with different head materials?

Different head materials are used for specific purposes in jewelry hammering. Soft materials like nylon, rawhide, and rubber are used to shape metal without leaving marks or scratches. Harder heads, such as brass or steel, are used for more aggressive shaping, texturing, or stamping.

Our specialized jewelers hammers are designed for distinct tasks. A chasing hammer, for example, has a long, slender neck and is used for striking chasing tools to create intricate designs. A goldsmith hammer typically has a larger head for forging and general shaping, while an embossing hammer is used to create raised designs on the metal surface.

Are these hammers suitable for tasks beyond jewelry making?

Yes, while these are specialized jewelers hammers, many are also suitable for a variety of fine metal forming and light-duty striking tasks. Tools like a mallet hammer with a nylon or rawhide head can be used for any application where striking without marring the surface is important.
