    I don't think any fancy hammer has been used to achieve that finish, looks to me more like a casting and just a rough as guts finishing job wit a file or similar.

    Thanks everyone for your help

    @Dennis I think my problem was watching 2 hours of videos about Fretz hammers, they pulled me into their cult...

    @China I did suspect it could be a casting. The jeweller in question has very much promoted her pieces as hand-hammered, so I hoped maybe they were

    I will go with a (reasonably priced!) planishing hammer for now, and then attack it with a file

    Second that. It looks to me as though it's been whacked with anything but a planishing hammer.
