Phillip,

    I don't understand this.  It has always been my understanding that
    the purpose of the step is to provide a seat for the stone.  Indeed,
    the only step bezel I have ever worked with has the step on one side
    and the pattern on the other side.  What would be the intent of
    having step bezel with the pattern and the step on the same side? 

Dale
