Just let me know what you need help with.
First off, that method isn't really used anymore.
The faceting is usually done with acrylic, which tends to break down over time. After a few years, it might discolor, lose its fit, or even pop right out.
With metal, they basically cut a little window into it where the acrylic inlay sits, kind of like how the glass fits into a watch face.
The whole point of faceting is mostly for aesthetics. If you want extra grip, you can use retention beads.
Anything else you're curious about?
Actually,
do you happen to have a link or an article about this somewhere?
