Thank you to every last one of you that responded to my story yesterday (over 50 messages 🙏🏻😘💕) to help a member of our community fit a bezel on a curved ring. The overwhelming consensus was to tape sand paper to a steel ring mandrel. If the ring is a size 7, you tape the sandpaper where the size 7 is on the mandrel, then you patiently sand. This incredible video is from @meritmade who had already made this video and generously shared it with me, go on and give her a follow 👩‍🏭also once you achieve the perfect fit you can use binding wire to hold the bezel to the ring. You can’t solder gaps - if you see light, it ain’t right (this should be a t-shirt) 😂 ALSO: don’t forget to rotate the bezel so you don’t get a taper! @meritmade does this in the video but I edited it down 😂 thanks for the reminder @carolinereynoldsjewellery 🙏🏻 #Metalsmithsociety #solderingtips #bezelsetting #makingbezels #jewelrymakingtips #benchjeweler #instasmithy #metalsmithy #ladysmith #jewelrycommunity #makercommunity #communityovercompetition
