Hi, my name is Jessica. I am a silversmith, jeweller, designer & teacher. Originally from the UK, I now live and work in the heart of the Cognac region of France with my husband and three whippets. I try to inspire and entertain people from all around the world with my videos created in the old forge of the historic French Château we are restoring and now call home.

Great tips… I will put my bezel on a bezel mandrel or even a ring mandrel and stretch my bezel out with a non-moring type of hammer or a rawhide hammer or a rubber hammer. It works the same way. But remember if you’re using the bezel or ring, mandrel method. Make sure you flip the bezel over and do the same thing again, so your bezel will be equally rounded out , hugs 🤗 Michelle

This is an excellent method too, thanks so much for sharing! I also saw someone stretch their setting by rolling it on the bench using their mandrel the other day - it’s not something I had seen before, but next time I’m going to give it a try! Jess
