    continuing information of beading/paveing how deep should the diamond
    be?  the stone should never be any lower than the table meeting the
    surface of the gold. "the table to surface" is the depth to which a
    'healthy' bead can be made. the whole idea is to form a nice bead not
    a large mountain of gold to cover the stone! if you are paveing, do not
    let the viewer see any flat metal in between the beads, that is a
    no-no! all flat metal should be with beads. use a loupe and check all
    the spaces out! bead here, oh theres a another
    space...bead...gotcha..another space again...bead! get my drift?...gerry, the cyber-setter!
