bezels

[Rose Queen]

You have a number of raw brass bezels that don't have connectors on them, but they are all oval or round. Any chance you might carry some that are square or rectangular (or know where we could find them)? Thanks!

Due to the method of manufacture, our current suppliers are unable to provide square or rectangular bezels that are sealed.  We are able to get them with the corners unsealed, so if that style will work for you, a special order might work out.  We will be adding a number of additional bezels in the near future, which are cast, and some styles may be without loops.  Please check back.

Thank you for your response, Rita. I plan on putting resin in the bezels, so unsealed corners wouldn't work for me. I'll keep up with R&T's offerings, though!

Here's a trick that might work with unsealed bezels or with home made bezels using copper strip.

Paste the bezel strip to a piece of plastic sheet on your work are work area with a few drops of super glue.
After that sets surround your bezel (or your leaky premade bezel) with a thin bead of rubber cement.
Let the rubber cement cure.
Make your design and fill with resin.
Let the resin cure.
Pull up the cured piece and peel away the rubber cement.
If you do this right the rubber cement prevents any resin from seeping out of the bezel.

It's a secret! Don't tell anyone. <just kidding> It's a good trick that allows all sorts of things you are not supposed to be able to do.
