Hi Kevin;

    No offense, but I have been a jeweler 30 years, and here's what I've
    learned: 

    1. Solder doesn't jump across gaps. You either plug them with metal,
    then solder, or don't have them in the first place. 

    2. Big diamonds are much easier to set than small ones, easier to
    see how they fit the setting, harder to break, and easier to find
    when you drop them on the floor.  Too bad we can't afford to learn on
    the big ones first. 

    3. Nothing yields to your will.  The secret is to align your will to
    that of the universe, if you wish to call it that.  At the very
    least, have your will, just know that it is irrelevant. :-)
