How can I use a exact precut shape of 24-30 gauge sterling (oval) without the piece tilting, causing the uneven appearance, after pressing, around the edge? I'm trying to create an oval with a small (2mm-3mm) roll over all the way around to create the appearance of thickness without leaving excess (waste silver) around the circumference, which, of course creates both cost and additional labor. I presume the answer, if any, lies in the shape (profile) of the die.
Thanks for your help.
