I make a lot of rings, its one of my favourite things to make so any info would be helpful. Let me know when your book comes out as I will top of the buyers list. Big fan !!!!
Still having problems? we have discussed your bezel setting twice, I doubt James can add much more on that subject.

James: I admire your ability to make a simple job so elegantly even in silver, most seem to hash things together without the small attention to details & neatness which is why most jewellery looks so nasty.
