    Well this is a odd string and I would like to say even though I did
    not have to set sapphires I did set three diamonds in a silver
    pendant recently. As a matter of fact I gave it to the client a week
    ago.The real kicker is the client wanted to set the diamonds in
    tubes in a reticulated piece and one of the three diamonds was a
    flawless round brilliant. I had extensive talks as to the drawback of
    each type of metal and the plus to each.In the end it was silver
    simply because of the clients personal preference.They also were
    comfortable with taking care of their piece. Overall it was a success
    and I was impressed with the outcome,but most importantly so was the
    client.I have seen and made many types of non traditional work so to
    speak. It helps to think outside the bench and explore things
    some.You never know what might happen. 

Have fun!
Daniel Wade
