Here is a tip for that gorgeous new piece of silver from @miraizjewelry - “Here’s a little trick on how to prevent unnecessary scratches from forming on your fresh sheet metal while you’re sawing. The only thing you need is painter’s tape! Apply this to one side of the sheet metal, cutting off any extra tape. Remember to take off the tape before soldering.” This is one of those tips that you will thank yourself for taking the time, bonus you can also write the gauge all over the tape so you know what you’re working with. Thanks for the share, we appreciate you! #beginnerjewellerymaking #jewelrymaking #jewelrymakingsupplies
