Here is a tip for pushing over prongs from @marquisjewelryacademy EDIT: This is a demo piece and not necessarily a finished piece of jewelry. You may want to shorten/finish your prongs more before pushing them over ☺️- Simultaneously wiggle as you push the prongs over. This action will work harden them a bit. We used fabulous pliers from @lindstromtools item Rx7390 they are this awesome pair of stubby flat pliers great for this type of work. I hope this is helpful! #prongsetting #jewelrymakingdemo #jewelrymakingsupplies
