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 Salisbury Crab King of the Reef
BC-N1196
This is the largest crab design in our current collections! It originally made large pewter brooches for Salisbury Inc. (est. 1979 in Easton, Maryland). The detail on its shell is incredible. The hub came in with our collection of hubs from Beaucraft (est. 1947 in Providence, Rhode Island). Both Beaucraft and Salisbury are still in operation. We're unsure how the two collections merged, and we're still sorting through which is which.
