    There are three ways I can think of that might work: 

    1. Mark off the section  where you want to attach the bezel. Very
    carefully sand off the texture until it is smooth. Then attach the
    bezel wire to the sanded area. 

    2. Cut a hole in the lace the size and shape you want,and then run
    it through the mill on the silver.  Watch out for distortion though. 

    3.Run the lace through on a thin sheet of wax, smooth out the
    section where you want the bezel, cut the pattern to the size and
    shape you want, and have it cast.
