“We dance for laughter, we dance for tears, we dance for madness, we dance for fears, we dance for hopes, we dance for screams, we are the dancers, we create the dreams.” -Albert Einstein #dancers #inspiration #jewelrytips #designinspiration #jewelrymakingtips #dubai #uae https://www.instagram.com/p/CR6K1r0LWsn/?utm_medium=tumblr

It’s called Push Engraving for a reason. #ecmuller #benchskill #jewelrymakingtips https://www.instagram.com/p/CLhUXFRB-3f/?igshid=1xrqwp5w4f4lt

I'm not sure where I originally saw this tip but thanks to whoever shared it! I used to spend a lot of time looking for small pieces in the tumbler but then someone mentioned using a plastic bottle for their tiny pieces, just drop them in with some tumbling media and water and it works great! I also started threading my hoops onto wire to keep which keeps them all together in the main barrel. I've saved so much time using both if these methods and can't believe I never thought to do it before. #metalsmithtips #jewelrymakingtips https://www.instagram.com/p/CFKlt2YnfoY/?igshid=a2asoa627f0p

I just realized I must have cleared out all the process photos when posting yesterday so here they are. Oopsie! Making a stepped bezel for a faceted stone. Faceted stones present a unique challenge for bezel setting because they are not flat on the bottom and therefore need to rest on a raised shelf. You can buy stepped bezel wire or you can make your own shelf which is what I did in this instance. I formed the outer bezel from a taller wire and and then used a shorter wire to make another smaller pear shape to rest inside and create a shelf for the stone to rest on. Check the height of the stone to see if you need to trim down the shelf or the outer wall a for correct fit. There should be enough metal to push over the stone and hold it in place but not so much that it covers too much of the stone. #process #jewelrymakingtips #stonesetting #bezelsetting #metalsmith #facetedstones https://www.instagram.com/p/CAu-m7Qn79p/?igshid=1fkaa9bidjprj
