Bezel Making and Setting Made Easy

This video will show you how to make and set two different kinds of bezel wire. I wanted to show how much more work it takes to set a plain bezel compared to some gallery wire. I also point out how the gallery adds a lot more detail to your piece with a lot less work.

last night I ordered $200 worth of supplies I don't know how to use yet and watching this video made me realize I probably need to spend another $200

[@GomeowCreations]

Lol nice. What did you order sofar?

When I first decided to get into this, I thought meh, maybe $300 to get started. I did the math the other day. I have $900 into this!! And I’ve only attempted my 3rd unsuccessful bezel. Good luck girl.

You are the literal BEST teacher and instructor, and are SO kind to give us step by step for free.

Wowwww this is beyond amazing, mind blown. I went all crazy making and buying jewelry, made one ring in class with a stone, and am having a hard time on my own. Felt like giving up, but your video gives me new hope, I'm going to try again.

I sure needed this video. I have made the bezel, soldered it to a back - and that's all. I have decorations I want to add, but didn't know when. Never made anything like this before so you've gotten me fixed right up! Thank you.

[@allanthompson9695]

Thanks for making the video. Very educational. Great clear presentation. Sub'd.

[@RenghisKhan]

Nice video. The trick with the floss was new to me. I usually have an open backside on the pendants I make so I can push the stone out. Also it reveals more of the stone and saves silver. One thing I do differently is I put the pieces of solder on the outside of the setting rather than on the inside. For two reasons, it's easier to clean up and if some solder remains on the inside of the bezel, it can leave a little hump that increases the risk of breaking the stone when applying pressure while setting the stone. And I really like your saw, I've never seen one like that before.

[@dianewoods193]

I also set the bezel on top of the solder pellet that the solder fliws up the seam and doesn't blow away

[@jenshouse]

I just want to say thank you for your videos, I'm a new jeweler and I'm just getting into soldering. Your videos have been invaluable to me and I've learned so much. Thank you and keep them coming!

I wanted to share I learned a really cool trick for bringing out the colors of labradorite (especially the blues) before you place your stone for the final setting take a piece of black electrical tape and put it on a piece of cardstock or printer paper. Cut it out to the dimensions of your stone and set it in the bezel add your stone to the top and holy cow I am so serious HUGE difference!!! Its really cool!!! 😁

[@kathryncastanares525]

If you do do that video, could you please try see the best way to do so without a rolling mill? That has been my greatest issue. It takes me forever to get an ingot to shape thin enough to be pulled thru the draw plate and would like to see if there is a technique that I'm missing to make it a little easier without having to invest in a rolling mill. I am just a hobbiest and only sell to pay for my precious metals etc. So it wouldn't be practical just yet for the mill.

[@GomeowCreations]

Sadly, I use a roller mill to make my sheet and wire. The roller mill that I use was about $300 and was the cheapest one I could find at the time.

Use a ceramic plate to make beads. No sparks. Angle slightly and beads will roll off to pick up tray. When alloying place lowest melting metal under or fold with alloying metal at lowest temp till low melting metal (zinc or tin) begins to liquefy and absorb itself (alloy) into the other metals then begin to increase temp and stir with stirring rod. 😉

This is a very informative video. Im at the stage in my journey where ive spent hundreds and need to spend hundreds more to bezel even efficiently. What is disheartening is to see that pendants like these are selling for nearly nothing online. I dont see a way to actually make money doing these things.

[@deborahhardeman8802]

I am working on labradorite a larger one and making a bezel is hard it’s been a headache. Every time I get one made it seems like when I get it on the back plate and I’m going to set the stone stone doesn’t quite fit right I don’t like using adhesive so I end up starting all over. Labradorite is a harder cab to set.

Hi there, Jeanette here, i would like to see how you can make the crown gallery bezel yourself. Or at least see a video on this is made. Please

[@tishsmiddy71]

Thank you ☺️

[@flyingcheff]

I also dislike using adhesives ever. BUT (!!!) in MY experience gallery wire is practically useless and very wimpy for securely holding a cabochon. Reason: Any hair or string, another chain from a necklace, etc. when caught by the gallery wire (when, not if) WILL pull the wires away especially since gallery wire, as is most "bezel" wire is fine silver. I agree, gallery wire is way easier and very pretty, but I suggest using epoxy for this one application. Do you think that is a good idea in this case? I don't want to push my opinion on your wonderful video, so I appreciate hearing your thoughts. Has this ever been an issue in your fabrication?

[@GomeowCreations]

Yeah, gallery wire can be a pain to get right and hold the stone in place without it moving around. I have been tempted to just use some glue to hold the stone in place and call it a day.

[@mariagloriagentilegmsjewer5565]

You make it all look so much easier than it is..great explanation and technique

Thank you again, Randy. Always inspiring! I have a collection of scrap sterling silver. What do you use your scraps for? I hope you haven't already answered this a gazillion times.

[@GomeowCreations]

So there are a few things you can do with your scrap silver. 1. If it's clean silver aka it doesn't have solder all over it, you can melt it down and roll it out into new wire and sheet with a rolling mill. 2. You can sell it to a silver recycling company. I don't know of any good ones off the top of my head but I'm sure you can find some. Basically you send it off to them and they will send you a check. 3. You can use some of the small silver bits by turning them into balls by melting them. You can use them in your jewelry designs. That is just a few things I can think of right now and might help. 😁👍

[@Hfin]

Why are you using fine silver instead of sterling silver?

[@GomeowCreations]

Fine silver works really good for bezels. It's a lot softer so you can form it around the stone a lot better. You don't have to use it but most bezel wire is fine silver.

[@Hfin]

@@GomeowCreations Do you usually make the rest of the piece also in fine silver, or just the bezel part? Can you use the same solder you use with 925?

[@GomeowCreations]

I just use 925 for the rest of the piece so only the bezel is fine silver. You can use the same silver solders with it.

Do you recommend using easy solder for the back plate? I’m having a hard time with soldering the bezel to a back plate and I’m using medium solder and wonder if that’s the issue🤔

[@GomeowCreations]

I don't recommend using easy for that part but at the same time I'm not saying not to use it. You can use anything that has a lower melting point than hard solder. So if you find it easier to use easy or extra easy then go for it. 😄

[@Shukarr]

Once you’ve soldered it together you put the bottom part that’s going to sit in the plate onto sand paper and you sand it down. Hold it up to the light to make sure there are still no gaps. That’s how I do it. Sand the bottom edge to fit and the sandpaper must be on a flat surface

Hello! Do you have a specific tool or technique you use for getting a smooth, professional surface to the INSIDE edge of the bezel? I get the outside edge looking perfect, but the inside will a few dimples and needs to be burnished. I cant do it with a burnisher without touching the stone. Suggestions?

Thank you very much! I never knew how much work there is to make a piece of jewelry! I ordered premade rings with open bezels and I am kind of feeling that I will not be able to mount the stones. Well, I hope for the best. ♥
