How to Bezel Set a Pear Shaped Cabochon Opal Using Glue -We don't use glue to avoid real setting techniques, we use glue when we have reason to believe setting alone might not be enough to hold the stone stone safely without damaging it. I will demonstrate exactly how to use glue when bezel setting a pear shaped stone and what scenarios call for this treatment. I will primarily be using my bezel setting tool #1 the Bezel Roller from my Master Setting Tools Set.
