Tumbler Holders to Keep Small Pieces From Tangling

Today I rounded up all the amazing tumbler tips from the community. One thing we discussed since my other post about using copper wire to keep pieces together is that by using other materials: a silicon loop @genne_laakso , a tea holder @lejewelrydesigns , a holder constructed from silver @quiettimejewelry , an old plastic gift card @seaducedjewelry or a plastic straw @garrisjewelersllc you can save time digging for pieces and reduce tangling. Some jewelers also expressed that by using copper or brass wire they noticed more “contamination” or dirtying of their shots and pieces (silver and gold pieces). If others have had that experience I’d be curious to hear more about it! If you end up using one of these creative solutions be sure to tag me! 🙏🏻👊🏻 #metalsmithsociety #jewelrytumbler #jewelrytools #jewelrypolishing #jewelrypolishingtools #metalsmithy #benchjeweler #riojeweler #riojewelers
