Metal Clay Tube Bezel

Description

Use your metal clay skills to add another technique for setting stones prior to firing. Each method previously learned – embedding fine silver bezel cups or swirling syringe – present their own look. The metal clay tube bezel resembles the familiar fold-over edge sometimes shown in traditional sterling bezels. While a jewelry piece will not be made within class time, the complete bezel(s) we will construct can become elements for one or more future jewelry pieces since they can be stored unfired and indefinitely. To this purpose, CZs of preferred color and size should be selected ahead of the class to give you time to think about this aspect. This bezel type takes more time to prepare, but the result is definitely worth the effort!
