I showed this to Aaron. He said those ends would have been round and they used a tool to flatten and then sanded it to make it flat to put the stones. He is going to make one with the settings carved to see the difference.

Thanks Jason and please thank Aaron for his input as well.
Knowing that the bezels on both buckles above have been soldered on, I must say that the smith did a great job of hiding the transition and making it look like one piece.

Can’t believe Aaron whipped out those buckles so quickly. That was a lot of work for an experiment.
