I think making a hamata is harder. Now it's easier than in antiquity: we go to the hardware store and buy some iron wire or even some iron rings.
But roman have to make the wire form iron! I have talked with some jewelry makers and it's a very hard work. Basically, consist in force the iron to pass on holes increasingly small.
The proces then it's the same that now, with the difference that almost all the roman hamata were riveted, and now we made it butted.
