Copper 17.5mm Square Stamping, 1.02mm

This 17.5mm, 18-gauge copper square stamping features an open center and is die struck with clean, crisp edges and will require some finishing to smooth its edges and polish its surface. Use dapping techniques to create concave or convex designs. It is a perfect foundation for other findings, including bezel cups or flat-bottom prong settings, as a backdrop for wire-wrapping designs, and for personalizing with engraving or design stamps. This stamping is ideal for enameling; when enameling on metal thinner than 20ga., it is important to use a counter-enamel on the back of the piece to prevent distortion or cracking of the enamel on the front surface. The color of copper makes it a great component for base-metal, mixed-metal and alternative materials designs. Copper can also be popular with some customers for its perceived spiritual/medicinal properties. CDA #110 copper; 99.9% pure.
