Here is a tip from @hghjewelryinstitute - “I use potato for fixing the prongs and soldering them, it makes supporting the prong setting very easy. I wish this tip be useful for our friends on Metalsmith Society.” Fun fact I started Metalsmith Society after an old colleague shared a potato tip with me ❤️❤️ thank you for taking the time to share this idea and video with us! We appreciate it. If you have a different way, please feel free to email me a tip at tips@metalsmithsociety.com thank you!!!!
