Dear all,
I have an opal which I am going to set in an 18ct gold bezel and solder to a silver base. I haven't used 18ct gold before and having had a browse through the forum I noticed on one thread that 0.3mm thickness was mentioned for a bezel. I was planning to use 0.5mm - will that be problematic? All being well I will solder the bezel to 1.1mm thick silver...
Any thoughts/advice gratefully recieved, my work has mostly been in silver + 9ct gold to date!

I've just joined the forum and will fill out my profile details soon but need to bite the bullet and start this ring...

Thanks in advance,
Birgitte
