This is a really good video for learning how to make a viking weave bezel setting for Cabochons. It will take some practice to get good even loops for the bezel, but it just like everything else, practice makes perfect. There is nothing worse than sloppy wire work! Good Luck, I know there are lotz of people paying for tutorials without a video.
