How to Remove Gemstones From a Bezel Setting-Unsetting Tool for Cabochon or Faceted Gemstone Bezels - How to use and hold the Unsetting Tool to unset a bezel setting for a cabochon or faceted gemstone. You use this tool to remove a stone from a bezel setting without damaging the stone or destroying the bezel. No one wants to remove a stone from a bezel setting but it happens from time to time and now you have the right bezel unsetting tool. This bezel unsetting technique is exactly the same whether goldsmithing or silversmithing. To date myself, when I was an apprentice goldsmith, laser soldering wasn't available to repair jewelry safely with the stone in place. I had to learn to unset my bezel settings for cabochon or faceted gemstones to safely repair my jewelry without damage to the stone or bezel. Necessity is always the mother of invention, so I learned how to quickly and safely unset my bezel settings without damaging my faceted or cabochon gemstones. I developed my Master Setting Tools Set based on my experience.
