Bezeliscious

How about just a bezel and a bale?

Clamp your 'cut to length bezel stock' between two Popsicle sticks, file the edges with a course file for serrated edges, curve bezel around the stone with the joint where you want the bale.
Solder all three at the same point for maximum strength. Pickle, polish, place the stone, then burnish the stone into place from both sides. That's it! Use a jump ring for a bale? Fine with me.

That's a good idea Dave

Sounds cool! Would work best with a 2 sided stone?

Hmmm, maybe that bezel should be a stepped bezel...

I want to make patterned bezels. Have you done that?

[Tom]

I don't think it has to be double sided per say, but something like a Montana with a polished back. It would be similar to working with stepped bezel I guess Pat. Like Susan says a double sided cab might work best and just evenly burnish the silver around the cab. Worth a shot and great for stones you want both sides to be seen:)
