My bezels are made by hand, so there would be handwork involved: measure, cut, file, then soldering using 14kt gold solder. Sorry, but there is no tutorial. But, thank you for your lovely comment.

Is there a tutorial on making the bezels that you would recommend? I love working with seaglass and wire and would love to do a bezel affect without soldering . Thanks for sharing your lovely work.

I add a bit of 2-part epoxy glue to the inside of bezel, then mount the coin and then hand tighten the bezel so that the coin fits securely inside the bezel.

Love how you have identified a theme. I like the way you used the half-round wire with the strapping technique. Congratulations! Well-done!

You even use an old coin from my country (the last one) República Portuguesa (Portugal). 🙂

These coins make fascinating pendants – combining history, geography, and art. Thank you for sharing these with us, Diane!
