Dear all

>     http://www.ganoksin.com/orchid/archive/200608/msg00440.htm 

    YES, David Huffmans (shown below) letter is only 2 years old, but it
    bears repeating.. I submitted a visual resume to be a setter at very
    well known upscale mfg'ing shop near me. The owner presented me with
    a micro-set pendant that a client bought and has had lots of grief
    with stones 'falling out'. 

    I used my 10x power loupe and noticed not any two stones were set in
    straight,level or being of the right depth. Some stones were
    single-cuts mixed in with full-cuts or with I colour and lesser
    quality. 

    This shop will be charging $500.00++ to remedy this problematic
    pendant. Oh by the way, there are over 200 stones to mess with and
    will take the setter 'days' to remedy the situation. You pay a cheap
    price for the pendant, but pay again for the ongoing repairs...
