Let’s Talk Open Bezels!

As Nunn Design has expanded as a company, our jewelry finding collection of bezels has expanded too. We are always looking for innovative ways for our customers to express their art forms.

The introduction of Open Frame Bezels has been an exciting addition. It has allowed for our customers to build out innovative brands that are unique to each of them. With the introduction of colorizing Nunn Design Resin using Castin’ Craft Opaque Pigments, creating with organics and other techniques, we now have even more ways to create!

Let’s continue to explore our largest category of jewelry findings; bezels. There is a reason why Nunn Design is internationally known for them.

Let’s talk Open Bezels!

1. Open Pendant-Cast Pewter
2. Open Frames-Brass
3. Open Frame Hoops-Brass
4. Hammered Flat Hoops-Cast Pewter
5. Wire Hoops-Brass
