Hi All

    I have done many Princess Stones in the Gypsy style, this is not for
    the beginners, by any stretch. It looks easy, but there it should
    end. Sorry to deflate your balloon, it is not easy for anyone who
    wishes to learn setting...of course you must first measure the depth
    of the stone against the thickness of the tiffany band. As you must
    first of all allow about 50% extra thickness for the simple fact of
    lowering the stone INTO the band and then the culet must never be
    allowed to touch the persons finger. 

    To explain the technique would take me a simple 400 worded essay
    plus many pictures, to cover all of the aspects in Gypsy setting any
    Princess stone. This setting is not for the faint-of-heart!. 

Gerry!
