Step 1
Pick a hammer, or several, that do the job you want. Special hammers created specifically for jewelry making include planishing hammer, which features one rounded and one flat side on the head; or a ball peen hammer, which comes much cheaper at most hardware stores, but it is not as refined. You may want to sand down the hammer's head if it has lines on it that will show up in your hammered jewelry.
Step 2
Pick a hard surface on which to hammer the piece. Bench blocks are a good choice as they do not leave marks on the back of the piece. Bench blocks are smooth and highly polished pieces of metal often with rubber beneath to absorb shock. You can also use any dense, polished piece of metal or even a chunk of heavy wood to place directly beneath your piece. For a heftier hammer dent, place a flat towel or rag beneath the piece which will allow the hammer to strike deeper into the metal.
Step 3
Lay your piece flat on your chosen surface and begin to hit it with the hammer. If unsure of the effect you want, start lightly on the back of the piece to see what you end up with. You can also practice on scrap pieces until you perfect the look you want.
Step 4
Put finishing touches on the hammered jewelry by rubbing the metal with a file, sandpaper or steel wool. Files and wool can add a pit of texture while sandpaper can smooth off the piece. Wipe the finished piece down with a polishing cloth for the finale.
