THIS IS A VIDEO TUTORIAL + KIT LISTING.
In this tutorial I want to show you how to create a ladder bezel to set a flat bed cabochon. This is an easy technique, great for beginners who want to learn how to set a focal stone. I will also show you how to make a figure of eight bail and create a coil setting for an accent stone. (you can use a drilled bead instead if you are not comfortable with setting undrilled stones yet).
