Take your jewelry skills up a notch and work in gold! In this 3-part series, studio jeweler and educator Paulette Werger joins us to demo three different ways to bezel set your stones and cabochons in gold.
Here in Part 2, Paulette demonstrates when a closed back gold bezel on gold backing is the right choice for uniquely colored or shape stones before showing us how to make a closed back gold bezel.
