If you have a bunch of stones you are preparing for setting and would like to keep them organized, and from rolling off the bench you can borrow the method sent by @mindyourmonsters She uses kneadable art erasers @fabercastellusa (in this image she has body jewelry with settings) what I like about this idea is the erasers are easily reusable and you make less of a mess than using sticky wax π©βππ thank you for sharing! #metalsmithsociety #metalsmith #stonesetting #metalsmithy #stonesettingtools #jewelrytipoftheday
