Hi all,

    another way to "lift" a stone in a bezel, is to have a snug
    fitting jump ring sitting on the top of the base sheet. The jump
    ring can be filed down, if you need to lower it slightly.  If 
    you are using a tranlucent stone, sitting on  a hole in the base,
    ( to allow the light thru) this method can also be used. Just
    match the inner sides of the jump ring to the size of the circle
    or oval. 

    saves worrying about burning the sawdust if you have to heat the
    ring at a later date
