When it's ready to set the stone, the top part of the bezel (the small bit that is higher than the slope of the stone) is pushed against the sides of the stone. This holds the stone in place.
Absolutely great video.❤ Just one question … when you are working with a rectangular stone do you use “round wire” or “square wire” for the bearing/step?
I read somewhere that it is not necessary to use borax when soldering on coal, as coal when heated gives off carbon, which does not allow the metal to oxidize.

Great video! This is very helpful.
Once you place your stone into place at the end should you be pressing the gold edges down onto the cab?
I have the same question....
Is the stone adhered to the bezel in anyway? Or is just a friction/tight fit?

If your coal is getting that hot so that it gives off enough carbon to stop oxidation, your metals are already wayyyyyy melted.
Sandpaper on a clipboard is genius
Nice content however, Rio does not allow beginners to purchase gold unless they have a business.
