'''Gem setter''' is the skill associated with the '''gem setting''' [[labor]]. Gem setters [[decoration|encrust]] [[furniture]], [[finished goods]] (excluding [[tool]]s), and [[ammo]] (including siege ammo) with cut [[gem]]s. It is not currently possible to decorate [[weapon]]s and [[armor]] with gems, unless the armor is made of [[cloth]]. A high level of gem setting allows a dwarf to set gems faster and with better quality, making the decorated items more valuable.

Rough gems, which are found by [[miner]]s, have to be converted to cut gems by a [[gem cutter]] before a gem setter can use them.  [[Gizzard stone]]s are a type of cut gem and can also be used by gem setters. Large gems, which are sometimes created instead of a cut gem, cannot be used for gem setting, as they are finished goods. (You might be lucky enough to be the proud owner of a magnificent   <<☼Large ''(Insert rare gem name here)''☼>> (This is a masterful quality large ''(Insert rare gem name here)''.) This object is adorned with hanging rings of ''(Insert worthless gem name here)''.)

Because there are a very wide variety of gems in most regions, and some types of gems have pretty high [[material value]], adding decorations of different types of gems is a good way to create items with very high value for [[trade]] or [[noble]]s.

==Training==
As with [[gem cutter]]s, gem setters can be easily trained by ordering them to set common [[stone]] such as [[basalt]], [[mudstone]], [[diorite]], and [[schist]].

==Control==
In the base game, it is not possible to directly specify which item will be encrusted, however control over the process can be exerted by creating an intermediary [[stockpile]] linked to take from your main stockpile and give to the workshop, then adjusting its settings to match whatever item(s) you wish to decorate (for instance, a masterwork gold throne for your monarch, or low-quality clothing if you're training a novice gem setter). Your gem setter will refuse to use any item that is not stored in a linked stockpile; you can then selectively [[forbid]] items in the stockpile to control exactly which item will be decorated.  (If you do this, remember you will also need a [[stockpile]] link that provides gems to the jeweler, as workshops that have any Give links must get ''all'' their items from links.  The same intermediary stockpile could be used if you don't mind mixing your gems with the items being encrusted.)

In summary: Gem Setting jobs suffer from a major inconvenience:
* The type of item to encrust is <u>general</u> - ''too'' general: providing no control over which items are encrusted without the use of (potentially multiple) intermediary stockpiles and often manual forbidding.
