We will be using sterling bezel strips and jump rings with either a brass or a copper solid back.

In that case, you may have extra time to put additional details to your pendant by creating a pierced design of your own on the back of your bezel so the stone can be viewed from the back. If you are a true beginner you probably will have just enough time to make the bezel, set your choice stone and put a finish so it can be worn on a chain.
