Tip of the Week

Hands up if you've ever put your cabochon into its bezel setting then struggled to get it back out. I know quite a few of you that have. Well...there's a couple of ways to deal with this problem:
  • Make sure you put a hole in the back before you put the stone in...then you can push it out. You can then fill the hole with solder before you finish and set the stone or cover it with other components of your piece.
OR
  • Use dental flos! Place it into the setting before you put the stone in then you can just pull the stone straight back out...what a clever idea.
