    Trying to find sized and sorted bezel set jewels isn't easy unfortunately. Often if you find any, it's a bag full of assorted stuff you have to sift through to find something that works.

    The last time I bought some, it was at an auction - you almost need to wait for an old timer to pass on, and buy up what they have in their stash, which is what I did at that auction...
