Jewelry - Sterling Silver Copper 14k Gold-filled Glass
Description
A bezel is a sort of wall that surrounds a stone to hold it in securely without glue (a 4-letter word to purists. The bezel in the top is a simple strip of very thin silver formed like a belt around the stone and soldered onto a backplate . The stone is then inserted and the top of the "wall" is formed over the stone holding it in place. The bezel around the intarsia at the lower right is a strip of fancy bezel formed the same way. The stone at the lower left is held in by a beaded bezel worked in rows of seed beads stitched from the base of the stone to just above the turn of the stone. Bezel setting works best on stones that are domed or have sloping sides.
