Thanks for the vid, much appreciated! Making a polygon shaped bezel as a first ring deserves my respect, well done. To craft a perfect polygon shaped stone and matching bezel is a real challenge. There is nothing perfect this side of heaven! Adding wire to raise the stone and black plastic (cellophane?) to achieve the black back look shows common sense and ingenuity.

The next time you need to make a bezel with straight sides and bends (such as a hexagon,square, etc) use a straight plier. You can get a cheap one on Amazon for $8. Please.

@@opalbadger9367 it’s not that…..it’s that there are reasons for concern, mainly about that pickle set up. Depending on the pickle you use it can be dangerous stuff and heating it that way risks breaking the jar and spilling acid ALL over. You don’t NEED to heat pickle, it just speeds the reaction. I’d advise you to not heat it if a candle is your only option. I used cold pickle for ages and still produced work good enough to sell. It’s really not worth the risk. Also if you have pets around your work area I’d use a citric acid and salt solution which is non toxic.
