therainmaker says:Thank you all!!! I was surprised to get so much feedback!
I got the Sure-Set setting from firemountaingems.com … I like the Sure-Set settings because they’re permanent! No more flimsy settings with gems falling out!

Faithful Chick aka Faith says:I have been collecting gemstones like these for a while the place I got them from does not have simple mountings thanks for the info. Ring is gorgeous. I am not a lover of citrine but am amazed how much I have purchased. I think I like it even better in a few gems I have seen on Lima Beads. The opaque ones. Never saw some of the stones this way, shine a light
