    Doug,  Don't try it unless you have a replacement for it.  It is the
    easy way to go if you ask me.. burn the garnet and remove it without
    gouging the bezel and then set a new one in it's place. The only
    stones able to take high heat in a bezel (unless your soldering spot
    is far enough away to heat protect the stone) is red (ruby)
    white(diamond) and blue(saphire) and these can still be risky.
