This is an awesome technique, as shown by jeweler @earth_to_chandra for not getting a stone stuck in a bezel. Simply thread some floss underneath the stone (in this case she is creating a setting for a unique piece of elk ivory) then you have something to pull the stone out in case it gets stuck, before you are ready to set it. Which is 😵 when that happens. Anyone have other techniques they use to ensure a stone does not get stuck while testing their bezel fit?
