Mesmerized by this setting video from @lucywalkerjewellery save your old toothbrush and use it to set your bezels! The plastic of the toothbrush is great for pushing without marring the metal 🪥I also used a toothbrush as a setting tool in my book. I modified mine which is another option, you can angle to make a custom sized pusher. Huge thank you to Lucy for allowing me to share her video. I love Lucy and her classes and have them listed on my Where To Take Classes Page metalsmithsociety.com #bezelsetting #stonesetting #jeweler #makingjewelry #creativeprocess
