Lory,

    Don't forget that it is fairly common when setting heavy square
    bezels or soldered corners to use a 6/0 blade and saw down slightly
    at a 45 degree angle on the corners. Then lightly open the cut with a
    tri-file so when they are bezeled to the stone, they meet at a
    perfect 45 deg angle. You can also lightly burnish this meeting to
    hide it. 

    Cheers from Don at The Charles Belle Studio in SOFL where simple
    elegance IS fine jewelry! dcdiets AT comcast.net
