Here are two bezel setting tips from
@shinyobjectsmichele “I use a couple repurposed tools that are essential to me. One is a blackhead extractor tool that I use to set stones that are close together. When I can’t properly access the bezel with my usual tools, I slip this into the space between the two bezels and very carefully push against the bezel. Definitely need to be careful not to mar the neighboring bezel with the edge of the tool. Make sure you have it facing so the curve is toward the stone you are working on. The kind with a flat edge works best. If it’s the rounded end, you might make an impression in your metal. I also use a dental tool which I have filed thin to work well for removing set stones (not that I’ve ever needed to do this! 😉).” Michele!! Thank you so much for sharing, we often get asked how to set bezels that are close to other stones and also how to “unset” a bezel. If you are reading this and have your own techniques please email me at tips@metalsmithsociety.com. We appreciate it!!!
