    Bezel setting bullets is one of those things where it's best if you
    are able to hammer set the stone. You need to spend some time
    hammering on the bezel edge to really it pack it down against the
    sides of the stone. I do it usually to the point that the bezel
    actually puffs out on the sides a bit and leave that as part of the
    design. I never use glue on them.
