Lizzy,

    there is a product called KOOLJOOL  (contenti link below) 

    http://www.contenti.com/products/soldering/510-808.html 

    there is also a heat shield and another type of paste that protects
    stones while heating a metal. 

    I have used the kooljool on gold and on silver to keep heat from
    transfering to the stone and have been extremely pleased with the
    results.  Now, I probably think that it is best, even if you use the
    heat shield to get in and get out of the area with your heat.  (the
    shield does not mean you can sit and heat the area all day)  But it
    really does help!
