How to Make a Bezel Setting for Faceted Gemstones- Key Concepts - The secret to any metalsmithing success is to understand the process. This will be a short series of videos outlining everything you need to know to make a bezel for bezel setting a faceted gemstone. Students often rush to get to the final stage of bezel setting a faceted stone, not realizing that success depends on all of the prep work, getting the bezel high enough, having a perfectly level inner bezel, etc. etc. If you concentrate on your foundational metalsmithing concepts, your bezel settings for faceted or cabochon stones will turn out much better. These bezel setting techniques are exactly the same whether goldsmithing or silversmithing, I usually make all of my inner bezels from fine silver.
