Settings & Bezel Cups for Cabochons & Resin

Start with the millimeter size and shape of what you're setting. Bezel cups list an inner diameter (8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 25mm rounds; ovals and squares too) plus a wall height, and the piece should drop in snug with the rim standing slightly proud so you can burnish it down. Match the cup style to the contents: open-back bezels suit transparent resin and pressed flowers where light should pass through; closed-back cups suit cabochons, photo charms, and stones set on glue or epoxy clay. Watch the metal — sterling silver and gold-fill take solder and burnishing, while brass, copper, and stainless are usually glue-on blanks. Prong and gallery settings hold faceted stones without adhesive. Typical prices run $1-$4 per blank for brass/plated, $4-$15 for sterling and gold-fill, with multipacks cheaper per piece. Many makers ship in 3-7 business days; cut-to-order sizes can run 1-2 weeks.

Use the metal, shape, and size filters to match your stone, then check related searches for matching bezel pushers and burnishing tools.
