Hi I am new here and have seen cooksons sell setting strip but I can find no information on it anywhere.
I want to know how flexible it is and how to attach it around a bezel. Plus any more information or tips to using it please
Thank you
Albert

Hi Albert -

From the viewpoint of never having used it (I wasn't aware Cooksons did it until you posted): If you're looking to bend them along the axis of the strip, they've probably got enough flexibility to form up as a setting, but I'd be surprised if they'd take being being transversely to wrap around a bezel (working on the assumption the stones in the strip face the same direction as the centre...). You might achieve it with some judicious piercing between the settings - about 2/3 of the way through might do it, but if I wanted a set of claw-set stones around a centre bezel I'd fabricate it or CAD the setting instead.
