Most of the time, necklaces and pendants are the kind of jewelries catered to by hand stamp designers, but bracelets and anklets are also a choice. Keep in mind that the metal to be used needs to be thick enough to handle the pressure of the stamping. Metal thickness is measured using 'gauge' and metals have varying gauges; smaller numbers mean higher thickness. The thickness that you need for metal stamping is 22 and lower, that's enough to withstand the impact.
