“Life is a balance of holding on & letting go.”

Does this stone need a bezel or prongs? How about both? How about a rich thick bezel hugging the stone and delicate prongs holding the stone in place? Use this setting technique to simply add some creative flare to your design. This is not a new stone setting method but it is one that you will want to hold on to!

Stone/Cabochon of choice- no sharp edges or odd shaped stones
