I was recently asked for some advice on how to solder a very small bezel setting to a thin wire band. This is a how to explaining the process, and helping you to avoid some common issues, such as work coming apart or moving while you solder, and excessive solder causing a buildup around the setting in situations where there is very little surface contact.
The rings I'm wearing, and the style of ring I made for this video are for sale here:
