    I've asked about this before and might not have been clear so here is
    a photo to show what I'm looking to do.  I want to have a ball at
    both ends of a gemstone using sterling wire and I've seen it done
    with all kinds of gemstones and corals.  What do I use to do this?  A
    butane iron?  I want to make sure not to damage the stone but come
    very close to it as the photo shows.  I'm not a metalsmith and have
    no one to ask about this technique which I've been wanting to do for a
    long time.
