    I have a question that those of you that have been doing fabricating
    hopefully will be able to answer. In a bezel setting I have been
    taught to leave the backsheet intact (I work fine silver or high
    carat gold). I also use a shiney fine silver foil inside the bezel.
    I was wondering whether it makes a difference when the backsheet is
    opened or if this is just personal preference. If the item is
    sitting against the skin it should reflect as if the back was closed.
    I would appreciate any feedback on this. 

Thank you all and Happy New Year. Linda
