Bezel Perfect Roller for Stone Setting

A bezel roller is one of the handiest stone setting tools you can have on the bench, and this is our upgraded take on it. Made from polished half-round steel, the Bezel Perfect Roller lets you rock the tool gently over the bezel edge, pushing the metal down smoothly and evenly around the stone as you work your way round.

The polished blade is the point of difference. It glides over the metal rather than catching, which cuts down on marking while still tightening the bezel securely. Compared to a standard bezel roller, this version gives more control, especially on wider bezels where an uneven push shows up fast.

We reach for this constantly in the studio for bezel setting cabochons in rings, pendants and earrings. It is one of the three tools that cover a full bezel setting job alongside a bezel pusher for the initial push and a burnisher for the final smoothing, so if you are setting up your kit it is worth having all three on hand. Our Jewellers Stone Setting Tool Kit bundles the roller in with those and a few other essentials if you would rather buy the set.

Worth knowing:

• Comes with a redesigned handle for a more ergonomic grip than older bezel roller styles
• 120mm length, easy to control one-handed at the bench
