GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Similar to repoussé, stamping was used to make a repeated decoration in sheet metal. A punch with the desired design in relief was repeatedly hammered into a yeilding surface such as pitch, or into a negative mold. The process allowed the jeweler to reproduce identical decorations.
