Making a Bezel for a Faceted Stone

This video tutorial, while demonstrating how to fabricate a bezel setting for a faceted stone, shows how to make a cute set of simple drop earrings. Included are many soldering, shaping, and design tips to help build your silversmithing skills. I used some pretty faceted round brilliant citrines for these particular ones. I enjoy sharing my knowledge with others, as I've taught people for most of my life. This hobby turned into a fun side gig for me for years while I taught public school. I love suggestions and hearing about others' experiences. What is your favorite project? What kind of tutorials would you find useful?
