Class Description
What is a Pink Spider? Does size really matter? This is a class to help you understand all those funky and funny little tools that jewelers use daily to add texture, or to help clean up their pieces of jewelry. I will share how to get rid of too much solder INSIDE your bezel and how to make your stone sit level in a bezel. How do you get the outside of a bezel clean, or make it so the seam doesn’t show? How do I clean the teeny inside of that hole? All the little tricks will be shared with you. I’ll also bring one of my tool set ups to share how to make things easy to find on your bench.
