    Check out Michael Boyd's work, michaelboyd.com. Top stone has bezel
    with tube soldered on bottom that goes through hole in second stone.
    Small round cabs have one tube, larger cabs have two. Glue is used on
    bottom of bezel and in hole tube goes through. Bottom of hole is
    countersunk, tube is flared. Michael does do workshops on lapidary.
    One trick Michael teaches is to buy stone beads, cut in half or grind
    off half. Strands of beads can be so cheap, you can get 20 or 30
    beads for what a few cabs would cost.
