Hans Meevis!

    I've seen FULL CUT 3/4 pointers, okay, multi-faceted stones. But
    they are out there. They will surely cross your bench one day. I did
    set smaller diamonds, they WERE SMALLER than 1/2 pointers, had to use
    a fine #005 round bur plus a very carefully and modified Onglette #1
    self-made bead raiser. This modified graver was made thinner on both
    sides, and the face was made smaller to accommodate the required
    ultra-smaller beads. 

    No great deal, you just have to "THINK SMALL", just make darn sure
    that the gold is thick enough to work on. The measurement of .0004
    should have read "
