========[ Invite a Friend - http://www.ganoksin.com/invite.htm ]======== Wendy, Using step bezels need not be all that difficult. Simply wrap the stone with the bezel wire with the stone at the bearing line. When it is the correct fit, solder. If the top part of the wire has closed in a bit (which as you say, it always seems to do) just insert a mandrel of the correct size and shape in from the top and give it a bit of a tap with a mallet....not a hammer as that would change the size...the mallet simply changes the shape.
