Before beginning to set any stone, remove all tools from your lap tray. Even a diamond can be chipped it if hits a hard steel tool when dropped.

When setting colored stones with an uneven pavilion in clusters or as side stones, set the thicker portion to the outside of the mounting where it will receive more abuse. If the stone is set with the thinner edge to the outside, it maybe chipped while wearing.
