Here is another wonderful tool modification from @meszarosjohn “A small piece of leather taped to the flat jaw on a pair of half round parallel plies , can help bend a multi set band without damaging the setting and stones . A little bit of care should be taken 🥴💎💎💎.” This could work with anything where you don’t want to mar your metal! 🙌 Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! #metalsmithsociety #jewelrytools #makingjewelry
