Flush setting - Clean-up question
Good evening all,
Currently working on a ring where I'm flush setting multiple stones ( Rubies & Sapphires ).
I chose these specific stones for their colours and because of their hardness.
Question I have, is how does everyone go about cleaning up the outside of the metal once the stones have been set?
At present I cut the seat, work through my buff sticks and do a polish. However.. if I make a minor slip and gently scratch the surrounding surface, will using various grades of buff stick to polish out the scratch do any damage to hard stones such as these?
Would I be best off using a stiff bristle brush and Tripoli instead?
Cheers,
Nick
