Great pieces. The bezel around that Onyx looks really good. What gauge bezel wire was that one?

I do have remnants of most widths and thicknesses and styles. But 99 percent the 3/16. Also have .999 sheet in different gauges Thanks. I have had a much easier time using 26 gauge 3/16 bezels. I tried a couple 28 gauge 1/8 and had a real hard time with them. Although the thicker the bezel the harder it is to push it over the stone. Chuck

Using a bead box as a frame is genius! Love the way that looks!

Chuck aneal the bezel and it will push easy. what are you using for the pusher and burnisher.
