Sandra,

    Always polish mounting before setting any stone in any metal. After
    stones are set, all that will need polishing (lightly) is the
    head/prongs or bezel. The stone setter should remove all file marks
    made while setting stones. Silver jewelery too long in the ultra
    sonic will dull the finish every time. Some pieces I lightly rouge
    again after cleaning and then wipe off excess with polishing cloth. 

Hope this helps.
