The bezel setting is minute, which makes it difficult to grip when sanding or filing it. I do all this by hand, no tools, just a file and sandpaper, and my fingers were so sore afterwards.
Anyway here is the finished ring....

A tiny wee peridot
I bought some tiny wee peridot cabochons last year and have only just got round to making a simple bezel set ring with one of them. They are 6mm x 4mm, such a pretty colour, but very fiddly to work with.

Cute!
