🪥 A toothbrush ... a #diy setting tool... from @curtisrjewellery - “Tip for setting soft gemstones like opal and turquoise! Upcycle a toothbrush into a bezel pusher by cutting and filing the tip. I like a flat spot on the bottom, but you can shape to your liking and how you will hold the handle. The soft plastic will push your bezel over without the risk of scratching your stone if you slip. Let me know if you try it! Share with your stonesetting friends, happy smithing !!” That is a stunning ring!!! Thank you so much for sharing this! I also shared this in my book! I got the idea from Tim McCreight’s Complete Metalsmith 😊🙏 so grateful for everyone in our community sharing knowledge! #stonesettingtips #stonesetting #settinganopal #jewelrymaking #diytools #diyjewelrytools
