Choose your own set of 5 silhouette dies from those listed at www.etsy.com/shop/JewellersBenchShop!

This is a great way of getting more of the designs you love and save money too. Maybe you'd like a set of five 20mm designs? Or a set of different flowers or hearts? This is the listing for you. Use the personalisation box to let me know which dies you would like.

Each die is made from 10mm thick clear acrylic, a great way of creating 3D shapes from relatively thin metal sheet. Two 5cm x 5cm rubber sheets are also included with your set of 5 silhouette dies.

The dies can be used with either hydraulic press or bench vice, and the instruction sheet included with each order gives guidance on both methods.
Texture the metal first and make sure it is annealed. Tape it in place on the die. Place one or two rubber sheets on top and then apply pressure using a hydraulic press or bench vice.
The 10mm acrylic is strong and allows for nice deep impressions. As it is clear you can easily align patterns and see the metal pushing through as you look from the side. The larger the design, the greater the impression.

My favourite way of using the dies is to form a matching pair and solder them back to back to create a hollow form - perfect for earrings, pendants, bracelets and more! Many of the silhouette die listings show examples of jewellery made using them.

All the dies have an outside measurement of 5cm x 5cm, and they are also available individually. The photos here show some of the silhouette die range for illustration purposes - you will be sent the five that you list on your order at checkout. Copper examples not included!

Extra sets of two 5cm x 5cm rubber sheets are available here https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1207741991/2-rubber-sheets-for-use-with-silhouette

Please list the five dies you would like in your bundle in the personalisation box.
