    I gather the secret is largely in what metal is used. I've tried it
    before with bad results, ultimately. I don't want to tell anybody
    what to do, but I just won't do them ever. I also think they're an
    inherently dumb idea, though granted the look great, but that's just
    the jeweler in me thinking that a $10,000 stone should have more than
    a prayer holding it. If you do them, you MUST guarantee lost stones -
    you don't really have a choice, you can either offer it, or they'll
    sue you.
