    Lets have a $1000 stone for example. If it belongs to my trade
    customer i get $2.90 to set it, if it comes from me or a private
    customer i charge maybe $15.00 and spend more time doing a neat job.
    Hardly going to pay for a replacement am i? well if it's my own stone
    i would have to, though not happened yet (touch wood). And people
    can't understand why setters don't want responsibility. Should i
    charge $115 just in case & hope i set 10 stones without mishap so i
    can replace the 11th?
