This lesson shows how to trap a cabochon in a netted bezel, creating a fabulously elegant pendant. The technique is so versatile it can be adapted to range from simple and elegant to heavily ornate.

This lesson can also be combined with the Border for Net Bezel, to create very organic looking pieces.


Note 1: although you can use any shape and size stone you like, make sure the stone is relatively flat on the back. This makes it easier to trap it in the net.


Note 2: Although the thickness can vary, prefer flatter cabs, since they are easier to net. The example used here is 1/4" thick.

This is BY FAR the most valuable tutorial I have ever purchased. The netting technique can be used in so many ways that I find it difficult to NOT incorporate it into every piece! :-} Thanks for the easy to understand tutorials Eni. I have two binders full and can tell I'm probably going to have to begin another quite soon!

This is the first tutorial I bought. My pendant turned out so beautiful my friends couldn't believe I actually made such a beautiful piece since I only consider myself intermediate at best. The directions and pictures were so clear and concise, it seemed no fail. Thank you for such a great venue for those of us fairly new to jewelry design and creation.
