I was extremely disappointed with this DVD. The techniques shown were not how an experienced teacher would instuct students.There were gaps in the bezel, which she said would not fill in with solder, so the bezel wasn't fitted on the base properly. Trying to set a stone after chipping it was very tacky for an instuctional DVD. There were no new techniques for setting anything beside a cabachon. The title is misleading.
Denise Peck is a fantastic teacher. Her instructions were very clear and easy to understand. When I tried this on my own, I was thrilled to see how easy it was. I love my new bezel ring and can''t wait to try more!
I was very disappointed in this video. I expected it to show how to set unusual shaped stones and objects meaning ones without flat bottoms. But all it did was show how to make a ring with a regular cabachon and a regular round bezel in which to put resin. It''s not for someone who already knows how to make a bezel.
This video got me in my studio making bezels within the hour. I love how easy all the instruction was, the lighting was perfect and I loved how I could see and understand everything Denise was doing. I LOVED this video! I made a bezel ring, with resin, and have already had people asking me where I bought it! I used fine glitter in the resin. I LOVE IT! Thank you Denise for another GREAT VIDEO!
JUST what I was looking for!

I was so excited to find this DVD. It tells you how to bezel stones and beads and found objects using just a micro torch. The instruction was very clear, very good camera work and good close ups of just what you needed to see. I've had lessons in jewelry making and am not ready to invest in all the equipment. This shows a great alternative in an easy to follow demo, with a manageable number of tools and materials. Bravo!
