    Thanks to everyone who replied to my post about melting bezels. 

    I first tried heating the pendant from below on one of those tripods
    with a steel screen.  As many of you suggested, the tripod and screen
    acted like a heat sink and I could not get the solder to flow. 

    Next I tried the third hand method and heated from below again. 
    Worked great. The solder flowed very well and the bezel did not melt. 

Regards
Milt Fischbein
