Here is an awesome technique for keeping your stone in place when starting to hammer set from @buffalocraftco - “Using bee’s wax to hold your stone in place while setting is great when there are prongs everywhere and tape just won’t work. My wax is very dirty from use but you can see how by using it frees up my second hand.” This is such a fantastic tip, thank you so much for sharing with us!! #metalsmithsociety #jewelrytips #stonesettingtips #buffalocraftcompany #buffalocraft #jewelry #jewelrydesigner #jewelrydesign #jewelrymaking #stonesetting #tipsandtricks #hammersetting
