Embossing is a technique of creating an impression of a particular design, decoration, lettering, or pattern on another surface. Embossing involves two stages; repoussage and chasing. Repoussage is a form of Toreutics in which a malleable metal is ornamented or shaped by hammering from the reverse side. While chasing is the opposite of repoussage, it is a technique of refining the front side of the work after repoussage by sinking the metal slightly. A combination of these two steps is collectively known as embossing. Chains, pendants, bracelets, glass, lighter covers, rings, etc are sold by Himachal Pradesh silversmiths. It is also well known for its silver-plated threads used for embroidery works in the textile industry.
