Teflon-tipped tweezers over a gem tray.
If you''re setting super soft stones, a lot of care must be taken, and the benchpeople that do this kind of work are few and far between. 99% of them only deal with diamonds and other common gems like sapphires. The softest stones I''ve ever seen set in jewelry are sphene, and I would be really scared to have anyone set it (around a 5 on the scale of hardness).Date: 7/12/2009 9:30:23 PM

I remember reading you''re not supposed to used metal tweezers on kyanite as well. Would you use your fingers to set it, or something else?
