Well I'm a super newbie at all this. I've taken a few weeks of a jewelry class so far so this is a nice first look at this subject for me. I think the close up shots on this video are much better than other videos I've seen. Also the explanations are clear. Thank you.
Oh my gosh! the tip of the double sided tape, changed my world thank you so much!
Glad to hear that our videos have helped you. You're going to have so much fun setting stones!
Addie, you’re an awesome teacher!
@Aerosolik Yes, those are good points. It's easier to use more material and exaggerate movements to demonstrate the tiny nuances of jewelry-making techniques in a video. And of course I would clean up the scratches if it were a piece of jewelry and not just for a video demonstration. But the principles are the same & are enough to teach people.Then they can improve their own piece. Thanks for your critique. It's good to know there are fellow jewelers out there who are concerned with quality. :)
Congratulations, great job. Thanks for sharing. Greetings straight from Brazil.
Great video, if anyone can help me i'll try to explain in english an issue I often have with this process: when i close the bezel the stone moves a little bit, i can't see it moving but can hear the sound when i grab it and this happens 5 times on 10 bezels even if they are extremely fit for the stone and there is really no room at all between stone and metal. How can i prevent this happening without using glue? It's driving me crazy
I like your answer. It shows your personality. Thank to share this video. I enjoy it very much.
Great video. Thanks!
congratulations this is an excellent totorial u are the best professor to teach bigginer thanks
Nice, thank you,
How is your bezel pushing so easily. I’ve given up on this bezel setting because it just wasn’t pushing in for me! I’d like to know what thickness you are using please?
You're right - setter's wax is a more secure way of holding a setting. But I'm not a fan of the cleanup.
It's nice to know that in a field as large as jewelry-making there are plenty of ways to go about the same technique. If something works for you, use it! :)
I have alot of beach glass I'd like to try this on!!
Is this a rounded cabochon stone? Meaning from the top down it's a triangle shape, but from the side it looks like a dome?
If so, then you'd measure your bezel precisely and solder it in place - checking for fit frequently. Then, before you set your stone, you'd grind off a little of the bezel metal at each corner - this helps you avoid uneven corners with excess metal. Push down the corners first, then push down the straight walls. Tighten everything up and burnish.
Good luck!
Neat video, well made and interesting to watch. But, did I miss part 1.5 or something? Because you never demonstrated forming the bezel wire from video 1.....
It is a good answer. I appreciate it. It shows your personality. Regards from Indonesia.. priyo salim
how do you set a triangular flat stone in a bezel?
I have my mother's pendant from 30 years ago, and she wants me to fix it, because it is a little out of shape.
It is about 4mm thick i think, i know how to set a round stone, but i don't know how to set a flat stone without covering it to the top. I want the bezel to olnly cover half of the thickness of the stone, not all the way up.
could you please tell me how.
@farang There are two series of videos we've made, one on "Making a Bezel," and this one on" Setting a Cabochon in a Bezel." Were you mixing them up, possibly?
Well done,and explained...
:) :) :)
Is there a video on how to trim up the bezel setting and attach a bail on the piece? I looked everywhere and didn't find it.
Que lindo así aprendo mejor
Hi. How do you cut thd back around the stone.. and shape it smooth
is there a formula for the height of the bezel to the height of the stone?? how thick is the bezel sheet?/ thx
Yeah, that's pretty accurate. Fine silver is harder, and therefore more difficult to push and burnish into place than fine silver. But it's certainly not impossible. Give it a try-you may surprise yourself!
Hi, what wire or sheet did you use for the bezel around the stone ? What thickness size and what is it ?
Would love to know too!
Thank you
@cheverie100 Lapidary cabochons are not good candidates for withstanding the heat of kiln firing. Typically, metal clay artists embed fine silver bezel wire in the metal clay back plate, fire the back plate, and then set the cabochon as is demonstrated in the videos. For more information, head over to our website; we have tons of info on how to work with metal clay under our Projects and Resources tabs.
Stone setting is such a large area of expertise. Some people make a living doing nothing but setting stones. This video is only a quick glimpse of one way to do one technique. Books, workshops, classes, and of course magazines are great resources to learn more.
Labradorite stone ?
Great video but the black smith in me was saying there is no such thing as pushing to much in to one area
베젤 어디서구매하나요
aerosolik why dont you make a video and show your way?
@artjewelrymag I am very impressed with the professionalism of your response to this critique, especially considering its poor wording and poor use of English!
Thanks for keeping jewellery at such a low standard by encouraging viewers to learn from books, rather than enrolling in a course where they may learn many current techniques, not only jewellery techniques from the 18th century... All we need is more cabochon fine silver pendants.
Like torquing a cylinder head

Your bezel pusher will leave marks on the bezel
The other one would be a better choice.
Even better is to make one from a broken file tang.
Curve it in both directions.
Never push in one section at a time all edges need to capture the stone.
That way you will never get a series of scallops, unless that is what you want.
You really need to redo this series to show how it could be done better.

why do you make so much extra work for yourself?
kiss beauty....mmmuuuuuaaak
