Wrapping bezel wire around your cabochon.

  1. Wrap your bezel wire snugly around your cab.  Use a stepped wrap and tap forming pliers to help you obtain and smooth circular shape.  You want to avoid any kinks or bends in the bezel wire if possible.

2.   Once your bezel is a nice fit, mark where you want to cut with your double ended etching scribe to make a fine mark on the bezel wire.
