>     Has anyone used bezel punches? What gauge metal should be used? 

    http://www.ganoksin.com/orchid/archive/200606/msg00006.htm 

    is the start of just such a discussion from the usage stand point,
    as far as thickness of the metal. Here is a link to a thread that was
    fairly long on the subject and you may find value in it

    and you might find value in this one too, as it is an inspection
    process for set stones which also covers the thickness of the bezel.

    Additionally there is this link to Hoover and Strong on the subject
    of bezels.

    Sorry I could not give a specific answer.
