After you learn to silver solder, use a jeweler's saw and flex shaft the next jewelry technique to learn is bezel setting techniques. Jewelry with gems stands-out far better in people’s minds than designs without stones. Gems add color, sparkle and interest to jewelry. Bezel setting is the best technique to start with in learning stone setting. Your jewelry will take on a new, richer look when you incorporate gems!

You'll create bezels for faceted & cabochon stones plus learn how to "roller coaster" 'cab style' bezels for added interest. You'll learn how to make bezels that rest on curved, vs. flat surfaces. I'll demonstrate how to "weld" bezels vs. soldering them as a way to eliminate the seam line. You'll learn how to make ‘quarter’ and ‘half bezel’ settings for a different look, how to set heavy-wall bezels, how to make exact shape, (matched pairs) of bezels for earrings, etc., and how to add a special "professional" finishing touch to any bezel that will make it shine!
