yep, I would say just make some large bezel settings and then make the cabs after you get the settings fired so you can fit them to it. the only thing I would do differently on the earrings would be to set the leaf pattern opposite so you have two soft leaves curving towards the face. That is just me though.
I think it all looks great!

They are very pretty! PMC is amazing. I have not worked with it yet; still trying to find time to master regular silversmithing

Hi Amber,
I think you did a great job with your pieces. I've been working professionally with PMC for a few years now & there are ways to set your cabs in bezels with PMC. You can buy premade bezel cups & just set them in the bezels if you have calibrated cabs, or you can make your own freeform bezels out of fine silver bezel wire, fire them in the clay, then set your stones as usual after firing.
