I have wondered how to do this for the longest time but never found or saw a method to do so. This is fantastic!! Thank you so much for sharing this and including all the reasons why behind the steps. Fabulous!
Oh wow, imagine trying to keep all those bezels with their right stones! I’d imagine for comforts sake you’d want fairly low cabs for something like this. It’d make a gorgeous bangle tho *thinking*
I recommend my wax box method to keep track of the stones and bezels. And yes, it is best to choose relatively low stones or this ring can get quite bulky.
You can, but the only tricky part is that faceted stones require higher bezels. That can make the ring a bit uncomfortable to wear. So just keep that in mind. :)
@@JewelryArts I've been wanting to try some rose cuts. Easy like cabs with more visual pop. Haven't got my hands on any yet, though. They seem a bit harder to find for the price I want to pay.
Super excited to see the next part and can’t wait to try making one. A couple of questions, Jeannette: presumably if I’m using a sterling silver back sheet strip it’s ok to use regular solder...or better to get IT solder because of yellowing? (IT solder is not the same as eutectic, is it?)? Presumably no inner bezel for those cabs? ...and when are you posting the next parts? Thank you!! Maysoon
You only use IT if everything is fine silver, if the backsheet is sterling, start with hard solder. We will only use an inner bezel if the bottom of the stones are curved but we may need to raise them a bit before we set. Lots more to come in this series! :)
Going to try this for sure.
Let me know how it goes! :)

Knowing why is just as important as how! :)
The bezel ring is absolutely gorgeous.
I LOVE Bezel Rings! :)
Fantastic info! Hope to see more of this ring 🤗👍
I've got a bunch more coming! :)
So glad you enjoyed it.

Any reason I can't use round bezels and faceted stones? I've got some 3.5mm calibrated peridot brilliant cut rounds that would be great.

@@JewelryArts yeah, that would end up being pretty thick. For a first go, I might just hold off until I've got enough small cabs. Thanks!
@@KC9RXP Rose cuts can be great compromise, lots of sparkle and a lower profile. 😃

I ended up doing a 3 stone bezel ring. Replaced the strip with half round wire. Inspired by this ring. Video on my channel.

beautiful
I love making these rings!
My dahlias are spindly-any advice?
Spindly plants mean they need more sun! :)
Thank you!
