    Rasesh, I agree with Gerald you should look closely at the piece, but
    I assume you are casting the stones in place and there is precedent
    for problems with losing stones from that technique. So you need to
    keep track of what designs they come from and look for patterns of
    loss. Then go back to your models and look for problems. During your
    wax setting what procedure are you doing to tighten up the stones?
    What metal are you casting with? 

    If they are loosing small stones replace them with no questions, if
    it is larger stones look carefully at the piece and use Gerald's
    advice. 

Regards,
James McMurray
