    Trying to make a bezel for a heart shaped blue Topaz Briolette
    stone...That is, a heart shaped stone that is basically flat on both
    ides and is facetted on both sides. so the edges are clean. How do I
    shape a bezel to the stone, and solder it without breaking the stone.
    never done a bezel on a large stones.... this stone is 112 ct large!!..
