We are very excited to introduce our newest jewelry design components, Flower Bear Pendant Stampable Blanks! These fun findings feature lovely flowers and scroll details around the edges of the bear silhouette, with most of the surface left blank to add your own embellishments like metal stamped quotes, crystal flat-back stones and more. You can also simply use the pendant without embellishment, it would be adorable in craft projects, jewelry designs and more. This listing is for 2 pendant blanks.
We designed this stampable Flower Bear pendant in our studio and had it created to our specifications, making it a one-of-a-kind Dry Gulch component. These blanks are made of a Zinc Copper alloy that has been plated with a silver plated finish. The base metal is copper colored under the silver plated finish. These pendants are a great pendant weight, heavier than aluminum but not bulky-heavy. The Zinc Copper material of these blanks is "stiffer" to stamp vs. softer materials like copper, the "feel" is similar to stamping on nickel silver. We recommend using a heavy duty hammer for stamping these blanks, like a 1 pound or 2 pound brass hammer. In the photos you can see an example of the metal stamping we did on one of these blanks.
Like all stampable blanks, these bears do bend some during the stamping process. Simply flip over and gently hammer flat with a nylon hammer and/or nylon block. These blanks can break if bent too quickly or too much, so take care if curving for projects like bracelet cuffs.
Extra holes can be added to these blanks with a drill or hole punch. These bears are 1mm thick, so we recommend using a heavy duty hole punch like the Eurotool Power Punch.
Our stampable Flower Bear blanks are 60mm across, or 2-3/8" inches. They're 42mm tall, or 1-5/8" inches. They have a plain back, the loop on top is 4mm and they are 1mm thick. The photos in this listing include a ruler so you can see how big the pendant is. All photos have been taken outdoors using sunlight, but as always, computer and mobile monitors display colors differently.
