Advice for setting multiple bezels
Hi there! This is a pendant I finished yesterday as a gift for my mom. I’m just starting out and this was a complex piece for me. I struggled with setting one bezel without damaging the one next to it, particularly the bottom of the pear without hitting the bezel setting below. I found it difficult to push the metal near the ball accents without damaging them as well. I use a brass bezel roller and a steel burnisher for reference. I ended up covering parts of the piece I wasn’t working on with a bunch of masking tape to try and offer protection. Would a pusher style tool work better than the roller in this case?
I understand I had problems with good bezel fit/height that contributed to those problems (and I definitely have a habit of using too much solder), but for future reference is there a way you all like to approach setting multiple bezels close to each other/other design elements on one piece? TIA for your thoughts and feedback!
