<h1>Hand Stamping Metal Jewelry</h1>
<p>This process involves the technique of hand stamping to emboss personalized designs such as letters, numbers, and patterns onto metal jewelry. It requires precision and patience to create unique, custom pieces.</p>

<h3>Step 1: Materials</h3>
<p>Gather all necessary materials including metal blanks, metal stamps, a hammer, a steel block, tape, and a polishing cloth.</p>

<h3>Step 2: Design Planning</h3>
<p>Decide on the design, including the text or pattern to be stamped, and determine the layout on the metal blank.</p>

<h3>Step 3: Secure Blank</h3>
<p>Use tape to secure the metal blank onto the steel block to prevent it from moving during stamping.</p>

<h3>Step 4: Stamping</h3>
<p>Align the metal stamp onto the blank where the impression is desired. Hold the stamp firmly and strike the top of the stamp with the hammer to make the impression. Repeat as necessary.</p>

<h3>Step 5: Inspection</h3>
<p>After each stamp, inspect the impression to ensure clarity and depth. Make adjustments to your technique if necessary before proceeding with additional stamps.</p>

<h3>Step 6: Polishing</h3>
<p>Once all stamping is complete, remove the tape and use a polishing cloth to clean and shine the stamped metal jewelry.</p>
