Perhaps one of the least (or perhaps MOST?) obvious tools, when making Steampunk Jewelry is a pair of watchmaker’s tweezers.
Tweezers are tweezer you might say…but this is just not so!
The main problem that crops up is this; tweezers made of ferrous metals or alloys can become magnetized making precision placement of the tiny metallic elements a time consuming and aggravating task, at best.
Solution, you guessed it, watchmaker’s tweezers!
Luckily these day finding what we need online is a fairly quick and simple task and many jewelry suppliers stock essential tools so when you are browsing their catalogue, for Vern’s sakes don’t just gloss over the humble tweezer section!

A tip for the adhesion of Steampunk Jewelry and other tricky things!
