Replacing jewels
Hello TRF,
Today I learned how to use the jewelling tool, press jewels out of the bridge and get them back in again.  The most important thing is the size of the 'stamp' you're going to use when you press them in or out of a bridge. One of my classmates used a stamp that was too small and the jewel shattered in to a million pieces... If you use a stamp that is too big you will damage the bridge.
