Barrette files are a tool I invested in later on in my jewelry making journey but they are a necessity! The “safe side” (side with no cut) is helpful whenever you have an area which would be damaged if the file hit it. I was reminded during my workshop in Italy that you carefully use a Barrette to shape prongs as long as the safe side of touching your stone. Pretty cool! Let me know if you have one! We would love to hear how you use it. We also want to hear if you plan to get one! Love the needle file version ❤️
