do you do the flush settings where you bur the setting just a tiny bit smaller than the stone, then use a hart bur to make a little ledge that the girdle squeezes into? cos i suck at that method and don't know any other way. :p

we do have an occassional gem show near me, about two or three a year. often they are closed to the public though... iunno. i guess i'm just gonna suck it up and try to do what my original design calls for, and hope for the best. thanks though :)
