Stone Setting

Making a stone pendant.  Take one cabochon (in this case a sodalite stone), one piece of silver bezel wire, cut to fit the stone, and one piece of silver for the base.

Solder the wire to the base and saw out the shape of the pendant.

File and smooth the edges.  I also made some cut-outs in the back of the pendant.

Set the stone in the bezel and smooth the silver bezel to make it snug around the stone.

 

Then I folded the top to make the bale.
