This dead-soft 28-gauge jeweler's bronze bezel strip is a cost-effective solution for jewelers who need just the right amount of material in a flexible, easy-to-work gauge. Its wide 3/16" profile makes it especially useful for crafting custom-shaped bezels, larger mountings, or as backing for small stone settings. The dead-soft temper of this bronze allows for effortless bending, shaping, and hammering—perfect for forming, wrapping, and intricate metalwork. Keep in mind, metal hardness can be altered through annealing or heat treatment, and each metal type has its own feel and handling characteristics. A harder finish will also yield a brighter polish when finishing your piece.
