    Yes, years ago I had a job that required making multiple bezel
    settings by setting stones onto 14k tube stock in a watchmakers
    lathe, burnishing them tight, cutting them off, and then soldering
    them into place on caste charms. Really simple and safe with diamonds
    and gold, but not possible with Platinum solder, or most other
    stones. I still occasionally set stones into small heads and then
    solder them in place on some jobs.
