Tips
- For freeform stones, wrap a piece of string snugly around the stone and measure it flat — that's your perimeter.
- Fine silver bezel strip (0.3mm) is easiest to push over — use sterling only if you need extra strength.
- Cut your bezel strip with the seam at the back or least visible point of the setting.
- Always anneal bezel strip before shaping — cold-worked strip will spring back and fight you.
- For tall bezels on high-dome cabs, consider scalloping the top edge for a lighter look.
