Previous PostUnless you’ve made jewellery you might not know about this stage in my setting. I melt shellac flakes onto cut up lengths of broom stick handle and set earrings and pendants into it. When it’s cool and hard it creates a hand held tool which holds my work while I push over the edges of the bezels to set the stones. A little excavation is needed to chip away the shellac which is easy but the whole work area and myself ends up wearing it #setting #gemsetting #jeweller #goldandsilversmith #handmadejewellery #handcrafted #shellacNext PostGood Evening At it again! A bit of late night setting custom orders and new gallery work #bluepearls #eyrisbluepearls #rings #gemsetting #pearls #mabepearls #madeintasmania #australianmade #newzealandbluepearls #sustainablepearls #culturedpearls
