Here is a fabulous tip from @fairbankandperry if you are making a stepped bezel - “For smaller stones, like this 6x4mm citrine, we often make both the seat and the outer bezel from one tall piece of bezel strip. Once the bezel is made, it is cut horizontally into two pieces. Then we just size down one half until it fits inside the other. Voila!” Love this method so much! Stepped bezels can definitely be a challenge and take some practice and I think this is an awesome way to accomplish that perfect fit!
