    I won't disagree with you there. As long as the stone isn't going to
    come out of the mounting, and it's not so loose that it rolls around
    like a marble in a bathtub, I'd say it's preferable to forgo being a
    purist in favor of avoiding bankruptcy. I tend to be a bit of a
    masochist and rely on just the metal. Perhaps I get a cheap thrill
    from getting away with something (and I've sometimes regretted it).
