    Default how do i make this?

    I want to make a bangle with a glass cab set in a bezel, set between 2 half round wires, these come together at the ends, i hope you know what i mean.
    How do i go about it, do I make the bangle shape first then solder the bezel between, or do I keep the wire flat, solder the bezel then form the bangle and solder the ends?
    I don't want to mess up, silver is too expensive
    thanks

    i make a number of this style bangle and i find it easier to shape and solder the D-shape together making sure you leave the correct gap for the bezel to fit inbetween then solder the bezel.

    You may need alot of heat depending on what gauge wire and the size of the bezel to do the final solder as there will be alot of metal to heat up.

    Hope this helps

    Regards
