    I noticed a neck ring on this site and it says that it was made by
    pressing the thin gold into a mold. 

    http://www.kultur.gov.tr/portal/arkeoloji_en.asp?belgeno=2376 

          The neckwear is made of an empty pipe of 1 cm diameter that is
          formed by pressing the bands cut from the thin golden sheet to
          the mold with diagonal grooves and then twisting these bands.
          It is broken in four parts. The parts combine with each other
          on the break positions. 

    Thank you for the site, Esin Eren
