Hey everyone,

    I just had a quick question to ask. There is a certain bracelet with
    these ballends in between the stones. I'm wondering how are these
    designed. You can see a picture of this design heRe:

    Please take a look and any help would be greatly appreciated. I've
    looked and i've seen silver "beads" with holes but i'm looking for a
    way to just make these in wax (i'll be designing the bracelet in wax
    first then soldering on the bezel cups. 

    A second design question i had was can i simply superglue the metalic
    bezel cups to the wax? Would they withstand the heat of the molten
    metal (about 1.5-2 ounces worth) coming into contact with them? Any
    tips you guys can offer on designing a bracelet like this would be
    greatly appreciated:) 

    Again i just wanted to extend my thanks for this wonderful community.
