It can then be set from behind, first using a thin oval washer or jump ring and pushing the bezel over that, or pressing home some small lugs, or raising a few grains with a scorper.
One other comment is that I would leave a shallow rim at the sides of the pendant to hide the gap that is usually visible there. Dennis.
