For this week’s #tooltalktuesday I wanted to show the acrylic bezel pushers created by @flowmke2 I’ve had these on my bench for many months now and wanted to share my experience! The premise of these acrylic pushers is that you can use them to set your bezels and they won’t scratch your stones! @flowmke2 was thoughtful about the design, they made two sizes, there is a pointy and curved end (in addition to the straight sides) and they have a bright label so you can easily spot on them on your bench! What I have found them the most useful for is shaping thicker gauges bezel wire around stones and the initially pushing down of a bezel! While you can totally use it to completely set a piece, I’ve tended to use them for pushing motions. Would love to hear from folks that use them! Especially if you’ve found other uses for them! 😁 I’ll link in my stories! Also shoutouts to @indigenized775 that gorgeous stone came from him 💕#metalsmithsociety #metalsmith #jewelrytools #bezelsetting
