Gerry,

    This one is your responsibility in my book. If the stone had broken
    during normal setting processes that's one thing. But clumsiness on
    the part of your jeweler is your responsibility. But beyond this,
    what does your contract say with the customer? No contract? Shame on
    you. Anytime you accept fragile stones for working on there should be
    a written and verbal understanding that responsibility lies with the
    owner (not you).
