The setting is a combination of sterling and fine silver. I had thought I might want to try fusing those little swirls in place, but after trying some samples, figured it would be easiest to just solder everything in place. I started with the scalloped bezel wire using hard solder, then did the square outline frame using medium. It's far from perfectly even, so I made the swirls to fit afterwards, and used medium solder again.
The matching cuff-links used the same scalloped bezel wire, but they were so large already, I didn't want to fuss them up with swirls. I think they match pretty well...
