Here is a great tip for shaping your bezels from @estona_sieraden - “I use 0.6 mm (22g) sterling silver for my bezel wire. After annealing the silver I stick my stone to my workbench. You can do this with a piece of tape (sticky side up). The silver is so flexible at this point that you can bend it around the stone with your hands to get the general shape.” 🤯 Double sided tape for the win again! I took a poll in my stories yesterday and Scotch Double Sided Tape was the number one brand recommended (I’ll link in my stories) and the second was Tesa brand! Hope everyone has an amazing weekend! #metalsmithsociety #jewelrytipoftheday #makingjewelry
