Impression Dies
This is our one-stop shop for all of our Impression Dies!
Many of these are original, hand-carved hubs we're using to make your impression dies, and they may break. If a hub breaks, it will no longer be available.
Impression Dies are used to create a fully three dimensional piece of jewelry. These dies will give you amazing detail using flat sheet or small ingots of metal. They are best used with urethane, paper, or an aluminum force that pushes the sheet into the die. Please check out the videos on our YouTube channel to learn all about impression dies!

Impression Die Snake on a Circlet
GM-N1332
This impression die makes stampings for snakes that appear to wrap around bars for rings, bracelets, hoops, combs, clips, and other such bars. It has no matching back side, meant to be flat on the back, but you can certainly make two stampings and stitch a fully 3-dimensional snake together from the pieces.

Impression Die Maiden of the Mist Bracelet
TR-OC371
A Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) myth tells of a woman who steered her canoe into the churning Niagara and surrendered to the falls — not in defeat, but as an act of fierce, quiet defiance against an unhappy marriage — only to be caught by Heno, the thunder god, and taken as his bride. It is a story where destruction becomes deliverance, and where the roar of water turns tender. Art Nouveau artists and designers found in this legend an irresistible muse, its collision of feminine agency, elemental force, and mythic transformation flowing naturally into their visual language of sinuous lines, cascading water motifs, and figures that seem to dissolve into the living landscape around them. This beauty is from Providence, Rhode Island
