Channel silver work, is known for
its smoothness and luster. The artisan, using a silver base, first creates
raised silver channels, also called bezels, to divide his chosen pattern into
tiny compartments. Then taking into account his compartment shapes and bezel
depth, he painstakingly shapes a variety of colorful stones or shells into a
perfect fit. After fixing them in place, he follows with a final polishing. In
channel inlay, silver bezels are an intricate part of the pattern.
