    When setting colored stones, it is extremely important to place the
    stone in the mounting in exactly the same position each time you test
    fit the stone while cutting the seat.  This is due to the fact that
    most colored stones are cut irregularly. To assist you in this
    placement, draw a line on the crown of the stone with a fine tip
    marker.  Then line-up this mark with a distinctive design element of
    the mounting, a similar mark with a felt tip marker on the mounting,
    or a mark made on the holder holding the mounting (such as a deep
    file mark filed into your ring clamp).  When finished setting any
    remaining ink can be removed with alcohol. Brad Simon CMBJ
