    Bari, Yes you will have to remove the stones from your cross prior
    to soldering. Heat will ruin turquoise. As for removing the bezel set
    stones, insert the fine tip of a thin bladed knife or other similar
    tool between the stone and the bezel and gently pry the bezel away.
    Work all the way around the stone until it is loose enough to be 
    picked out. Good luck. Jerry in Kodiak
