    Judy, One of the things I wish to "recycle" from the pawn shop is a
    pair of almost hoop earrings. I was thinking of using the almost
    circles as a bezel. Just need to figure out how to close the circle. 

    Tip from my instructor, I have always made my bezel by wrapping it
    around my stone, measuring carefully, cutting, soldering and then
    soldering it to the backing. Then fit the stone in and burnishing
    the bezel. 

    When she looked at some I had done previously, she said she knew
    exactly how I had done it. She then proceeded to tell me I should
    have used a ring mandrel to get a true circle. DUH! I'm certain I am
    the only one who did not know that. 

Bring on that next bezel.
Terrie
still concerned
