Solder flowing
Trimming excess silver from bezel

In the third session in the Beginning Silversmithing Class we covered bezel construction. This is a challenging next step in creating beautiful jewelry. All the girls did great tackling this multiple solder challenge. And all successfully constructed their very first bezel!

Now it is on to bigger and better things incorporating this new knowledge into designs.

Tools used today:

  • pliers  flat-nose
  • shears
  • files
  • polishing machine
  • torch

Materials:

  • 26 Gauge Sterling Silver Sheet cut for bezel
  • 30 Gauge Sterling Silver Sheet for backing
