Hi Don,

>             from which i was taught you use wood saw dust (very fine)
>     fill the bezel  then wet (soak) Press the stone in tight roll bezel
>     around the stone to hold in place. 

    Was the sawdust used to raise the level of the stone or is there
    some other reason to do it this way? Did you learn an alternative
    method for open backed set stones? 

    Thanks,
    Tracy
