    The problem may be center of gravity and/or jump ring shape. If the
    connection is at say 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock, yeah they're likely to
    flip. Try 10 and 2. Big round JRs will increase the flipping
    tendency, because the JR may be pressing against the skin and want
    to deflect, taking the bezel with it. Try smaller or oval JRs. You
    might also fiddle with the gauge of wire relative to the hole it goes
    thru. A tight fit can transmit the torque right to the next bezel.
