But pushing the bezel inward first - duh, why didn't I think of that!<BR/><BR/>Thanks!Contrariwisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09397443426432139398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908952745169451157.post-86161531293047819232008-11-21T10:32:00.000-08:002008-11-21T10:32:00.000-08:00It's not easy! :-) First, you have to make sure th...It's not easy! :-) First, you have to make sure that the side walls of the adjoining bezels don't become soldered together when you're trying to solder them to the back of the bezel. So I do one bezel at a time, and before I add the next one, I gently bend the first one inward a bit so it won't be flush with the one next to it. Then, when it's time to smooth the bezels, I use a micro-burinshing tool to get into the middle areas. Hope that helps!Tamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07751512090298090771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908952745169451157.post-92084428480153985032008-11-21T10:01:00.000-08:002008-11-21T10:01:00.000-08:00Beautiful, beautiful ring.

And I think it looks fine without a gold accent bead in the middle.<BR/><BR/>But I'm sitting here trying to figure out how you were able to do the multiple bezels in the first place and get the centers that smooth.<BR/><BR/>Hmmm.Contrariwisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09397443426432139398noreply@blogger.com
