Making a Wide Band Ring with a Cabochon: A Silversmithing Tutorial

This tutorial shows how to make a simple bold wide band ring with a bezel set cabochon. The stone is a 10x12 mm rectangular black onyx, although this design works well for other shapes too. This is an intermediate level project. For materials, I used 18 (1.02 mm) gauge sterling sheet, and 3/16 inch (4.76 mm) fine silver bezel strip in 26 gauge (.41 mm). As always, I use hard silver sheet solder and My-T-Flux.
