Learning how to set gemstones into metal jewelry is an essential skill of becoming a jeweler. The bezel setting is the most foundational of settings. Bezels are thin strips of metal that completely encircle a stone to hold it in place. Learn the principles of setting cabochon gemstones into various jewelry pieces as you create a bezel set ring, pendant, or a pair of earrings. Skills including measuring, fitting, soldering, setting, and finishing will be taught.
