Border Bezel Set Ring Making - Punch Setting
Bezel set gemstones

This ring is a free-from shaped broad band framed by a border with three bezel set gemstones. This design is suited to many adaptations by varying the gemstone sizes and setting style. Also the band and border can both be highly polished. Or the band can be textured and the border polished. Another option is to blacken the band with Liver of Sulphur to create a high contrast with the border.
