    In india, the usual practice before setting stones is to jam the
    jewelry piece with the help of shellac on a wooden base. Is the 
    same practice followed in the west. Is there any other option. The
    system that we follow is at times risky specially when color stones
    have been set. As shellac needs to be removed by heat, there is
    always high risk that the color stone looses its color.
