Starting with the bezels

Soldering the collets in ring

With this Decorative Cabochon Collet Ring I explore a cross between a tube (bezel) and a claw (prong) setting for the centre cabochon. The reason is that you will be able to do the finishing and setting. This is a modern popular design suitable for cabochon stones. The design style allows for variation and your creative interpretation. This ring requires some careful filing with needle files and the making of two four claw collets.
