Here is a tip for when you are creating multiple pieces from @smithandstoneco - “When I create multiple pieces that are the same style I like to scribe the inside of the bezel with a letter/or number (in this case first letter of the stone, A for amethyst) to help differentiate the settings with their respected stones. Each stone is different but very similar so this makes it so much easier to match things up. With the scribe on the inside of the bezel it won't be seen once the stone is set. “ Thank you for sharing this Samantha, this is definitely a time saver! #jewelrymakingtips #jewelrymakingcommunity
