Checking a Bezel Seam Against Light Before Soldering

If you can see light, it isn’t right 😂 an easy way to check your seam prior to soldering is to hold your piece up to a light. In the first image I could see that I needed to sand my piece and/or my bezel, in the second image I checked again and I can see my bezel is sitting flush against the piece and ready for me to solder! You can also check your soldering seams once they come out of the pickle. If you see light, it ain’t tight 😂 are these new shirt slogans?!? If you are newer to making jewelry feel free to ask questions, there is NEVER a stupid question. 😁 #metalsmith #jewelrymaking #jewelrygang #communityovercompetition #jewelrytipoftheday
