    Hi Everyone, I took a custom job yesterday to do a simple bezel set
    ring with my customers very high value stone.  I called my insurance
    company and bought a 2 week rider so it is covered while in my store
    but how do you tell your customer that you cant take any personal
    responsibility for the actual setting done.  The actual profits to be
    made on a job like this don't seem to justify the risk of setting it
    but its not a stone with much risk involved either.  I would love to
    be the designer that can handle these types of stones as I know this
    is just the first stone that I may get the opportunity to work with
    through this client... but I want to make sure I am covered legally
    and respond to her professionally. 

    I know I could turn the job down but this is not the answer I'm
    hoping for. How does everyone else cover their tails and protect
    themselves while doing the elite few a grand service?
