How does the "setting" process actually work?

[mikey71497]

I was just curious to know how you actually go about setting a diamond into the setting. Also, say a diamond is set too high for the girl''s taste, what is the process in lowering the stone? Do you file down the prongs to desired height, and re-set?

Thanks

Just bumping this tread ''cause I have the same question.

Can someone please explain the procedure for re-setting a diamond that appears to be set too high?

Many thanks!
