Sandra,

    Now that's the sort of thing that adds spice to an otherwise
    ordinary day!  I always look at the sort of situation you describe
    from the standpoint that " the piece is essentially worthless as it
    is, so why not give it a bloody go eh?" The stones SHOULD withstand
    the heat. If you succeed in completing the circle again, having
    removed one of the settings, if you are really gentle when you round
    it up on the mandrel, checking for loosening stones as you do, you
    might just pull it of! There will probably be some loosening, but
    you should be able to tighten it as it occurs. In any event, if the
    whole job collapses, you haven't lost anything. When I have offered
    a customer with this sort of solution, I have yet to have one
    refuse. :-)
