I am an old school jeweller and have been asked to make a wedding ring in palladium that is textured with a hammer - rough planishing. Having never used the metal I want to know if I can just buy a blank ring and hammer it without annealing it, as i don't really want to stretch it? Can i talk to someone who has used it as I don't want to buy anything without knowing at least a little, about what I am letting myself into! Thanks.
