Amazing tip to keep your stone from shifting when you start to set it from @aimeesutanto - "Handy tip when bezel setting: use a skinny length of blu tack to temporarily hold it down, preventing it from jumping out during the initial stage of tapping the bezel wall. Once it is secured, just remove it and tap away " This is what she used in the top left image 🤯 SUCH A GOOD IDEA!! Do you have a different technique? Tell us! As for this tack I found it on amazon and will link in my stories but I’m sure you can find this everywhere, I recall using it to put posters on my walls as a kid 😂 #metalsmithsociety #metalsmith #ladysmith #bezelsetting #stonesetting
