Love the look of lace?

May 25, 2010

Keep your design in place, with bezel lace.

Style things up with our “setting ribbon”.

Make your own lace-edge bezel–it’s an easy way to wrap your rivolis, set your cabochons and fancify found objects!

You simply bend the cute heart, diamond, or half-circle loops/tabs over both the front and back of the object you want the bezel to hold.

(It’s easy to wire or solder the ends together.)

5 lace bezel setting hints from the awesome R&T shop:

1. Wrap bezel lace around object so that the end loops overlap (or lie flush if soldering). Cut to size.

2. Use your fingers or a mandrel to press loops against both the front and the back of the object.

3. Burnish until the lace lies smoothly against the object on all sides.

4. Secure the overlapping loops with wire (or solder ends).

5. When soldering the bezel lace in place around the object, use a soldering iron. A torch will crack glass, crystal or stone objects.

Try it, you’ll like making your own custom settings!

    These went straight to the top of my R&T wishlist when I first spotted them on the website. 😀 Love brass, often use bezels and I need something that doesn’t require soldering but also doesn’t obscure my stones/crystals too much (as e.g. beaded bezels many times do).
    I think especially that third bezel lace would also look good as a “border”/embellishment on a flat surface.
