Diamond Bezel Pendant.
Q.Looking for supplier of watchglass and bezel fittings into which gold can be placed and then hung as a pendant. When you put the bezel wire into the pendant and the pendant itself shrinks, does the bottom of the bezel wire get tighter? That's a tube at top that the wire/chain goes through isn't it? Can you help?
A.the bezel will get a little tighter - but not too much. I had no problem setting my stone - even after the great hole in the bottom repairs. Actually that bale is not a tube - I'm going to use a midnight blue ribbon to hang the pendant from. But I have another pendant that I'm working on that does have a tube bale. I also think the tube idea is cool. I think that may be one of my favorite things about PMC - the ability to make really creative bales. I know there were questions about the bezel settings - so here's how it is done (very short version). You make a base using PMC + or 3, take the bezel wire and get it to fit your stone, then place the bezel wire into the un-fired PMC piece. Make sure the joint is nice (No soldering necessary - we used tension to keep the joint together- although one guy who also does silversmithing soldered his.) Fire. Check it out- if all is ok - set the stone.
