Easiest Way to Make Hand Stamp Initial Connector – Permanent Jewelry Tutorial Micro Welding

In this video I show the trick to getting a straight and clean hand stamp a letter onto an oval gold filled stamping disc connector.  Afterwards, I weld the connector into a permanent bracelet using the Orion mPulse Micro Welder.

There are many pre-made initial bracelet connectors on the market that are easy to use.  A stamping disc allows the flexibility of multiple letters and/or a motif design for further customization. These are perfect for adding more meaning to a permanent bracelet.

To get a clean stamp, you need a stamping block or metal anvil – a hard flat surface.  If the surface is a bit marked, you can cover the surface with protective leather or felt. Meanwhile, check that the surface of this material is very smooth, otherwise fine patterns will show up on the metal.

A trick is to use paper and tape down the stamping disc to hold it into place.  Using a marker to create visual guidelines helps with centering and positioning of the letters.

If you want the letter to visually stand out more, you can use a permanent marker to trace the crevice of the markings.  Use a white (non-marking) eraser to remove excess.

These are the components I had used in the video (all available wholesale on my online store with their product codes):
