Hi Rachel / Ray

    I have just done a course in soldering bezels to back plates. I use
    PMC for the back plate and bezel strip for the bezel. The problem is
    the stones I am using are flat cut so not domed. So when I push the
    bezel in over the stone it just swallows it up. I have seen stones
    bezelled where the bezel is flush to the outside of the stone which
    leaves the stone showing more sympathetically. I thought the only way
    to decrease the risk of it falling out was to use glue. I would
    really appreciate your advice.
