Supplies List:

- 24g dead-soft sterling-silver or fine silver bezel wire to fit the height of your stone
- Cabochon or found object to bezel (when you select it, make sure it is one that is shorter than the height of your bezel wire or you won't be able to set your stone properly).
- Decorative wire a little longer than you need to wrap around your chosen stone (sterling-silver or fine silver, dead soft- search for twisted or full-bead wire)
