Here is a method for stretching that bezel that is just a little too tight 😬 from @dancingbluestone - “I pry the pre-shaped bezel over the tip of a metal stamp and hammer out with a plastic mallet. I use a roll and stretch technique (on a thick piece of leather) I roll and tap, roll and tap to stretch the metal. a little goes a long way. be careful not to make it too big. I then shape the bezel with my fingers to get it to fit over the stone again. Then I use a burnisher to get the exact shape desired. “ 😁 Thank you SO much for sharing this! We’ve all had a slightly too tight bezel 🙋‍♀️ would love to share other techniques as well!
