What do 'Bead Burnisher tools' really look like? => 7 photos

 In this particular photo, you can see that the assortment of burnishers has been badly worn from contact use. (YUK) GET RID OF THEM NOW. 

 These next  2 photos show what a Bead Burnisher look like under a 10x power loupe. These two have not been used as you can see the distinct sharp edge around the tip of the tool.


This particular Burnisher is of a smaller size.



 The flange for your bead burnisher never comes with any flange from the 'tool supplier'. YOU MUST CREATE THESE YOURSELVES.

This burnishing handle was specifically made to hold burnishers TIGHTLY  AT ALL TIMES. 

 Many of my Bead Burnishers have this 'flange' as when the tip of the tool is resting against the delicate gemstone, there won't be any sudden breakage to occure.

 To make this important 'flange', DON'T USE ANY EMERY WHEEL. I suggest using a process of rubbing the tool on your oilstone. This process is simple as it looks.
