    I am at the point where i want to attempt my first bezel settings. I
    am going through the Rio catalog and am a little confused with my
    wire choices. Being my first attempt at soldering and creating my
    own mount like this these might be some seriously silly questions. 

    Rio offers 

    .999 bezel wire
    .925 stepped bezel wire

    First what is the reason behind the step in the stepped wire, is this
    prefered? Second do they not make bezel wite in sterling? Are there
    any concerns in soldering.999 bezel to.925 sheet "back"? If i do this
    can i legally still advertize this piece as sterling? My
    understanding of the law states that it must be at least.925 silver
    content to be listed as sterling but i would like to verify this with
    the experts 

Thank you
