Hi Adrian

    Those goldsmiths have a bench with storage and wheels. It's about 2
    feet by 5 feet long and the jeweler sits on the one end. There's a
    steamer and ultrasonic cleaner on the other. Typically they just do
    sizing and setting (center stones) sometimes, but rarely they'll set
    pave also. Definately not the best work you'll find and the customer
    gets to stand over your shoulder as you're working on the edge of the
    carpet halfway into the mall. Nerveracking to say the least.  They
    stores sell the setting  at keystone. With the remount company paying
    the jeweler a fee based on % of sales. (I'm pretty sure..) 

Stanley
