Advice on how to make these beautiful earrings :)

[cartres]

Hello all,

My friend’s birthday is coming up and for ages she has had an obsession with these tourmaline earrings. I was in the process of ordering a pair, when it occurred to me that I could attempt to make it myself.. it looks simple enough.. well so I hope. Can someone tell me how I would go about soldering the joints? Do I create the bezel then force the stone through and somehow push the bezel around the crystal as you would when setting a stone or do you solder while the crystal is in place? I intend on using silver for this project.

As always any help and advice would be much appreciated.

Many thanks
Sofina
