    Some of my colleagues pack their stones with pieces of old  dead
    credit cards, cut to size. I prefer not to do that, as one never
    knows what kind of chemicals the ring could be subjected to that
    would interact negatively with the plastic.  If I have to
    bezel-set a low stone so that it appears higher, I construct an
    inner bearing or use step-bezel wire. However, my cronies do
    swear by the credit-card packing, so give it a
    try.............Donna
