Q.
How do I use Sure-Set™ settings, and what sizes of stones fit in them?
- Sam, CT
A.
View the ''Gemstone Setting'' tutorial on how to set stones in Sure-Set™ and Snap-Tite® settings.

Sure-Set™ settings are pre-notched and sized to fit equally sized calibrated stones. The size indicated with each setting is the size stone that fits into the setting. There is no need to do any adjusting from this number.

Stone setting pliers help you set your stones more securely in the event there is a slight differentiation in sizes and a prong lifter is valuable when you need to remove a stone.
