Bezel Setting Tools Set Of 22 In Wood Box-Made in Europe

Closing a bezel cleanly comes down to matching the punch to the setting, and this set carries a size for round bezels, tube settings, and pre-notched settings from 1.5mm to 9.9mm inside diameter. Made in Poland, it holds 22 punches and a single holding handle in a hinged wood storage box, and it is built for quickly finishing round bezel settings and closing pre-cut or pre-notched settings.

To use the set with tube settings, select heavy-walled tubing roughly 0.5mm larger than the stone's diameter, cut the seat with a setting burr that exactly matches the stone size, seat the stone, then burnish the bezel closed with the appropriately sized punch. A 3mm round faceted stone, for example, calls for tubing with a 3.5mm–3.8mm outside diameter and a 3mm setting burr.

The punch handle carries a set screw to secure each punch and a metal insert at the top, so light strikes with a riveting hammer are possible when hand pressure alone will not close a bezel or a prong.

Features

• Set of 22 punches ranging from 1.5mm to 9.9mm inside diameter
• One punch holding handle with a set screw for secure punch retention

• Nicely finished interior surfaces to minimize marring of settings
• Suited for round bezels, tube settings, and pre-notched settings

Notes

Before first use, inspect the interior of each punch and polish as needed. A smooth, polished interior finish helps prevent marring of settings, and this practice is worth applying to all bezel setting tools. A bullet-shaped polisher (such as Part #110.342) or a similar tool can be used to refine the interior finish.

Individual punches are not available separately for this set.
