Gem setter is the skill associated with the gem setting labor. Gem setters encrust furniture, finished goods and ammo with cut gems. It is not currently possible to decorate weapons 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 miners, have to be converted to cut gems by a gem cutter before a gem setter can use them. Large gems, which are sometimes created instead of a cut gems, can not be used for 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 adorn with hanging rings of (Insert worthless gem name here).
Because there is 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 nobles.
Training
Jewelers can be easily trained by ordering them to cut/set common stone such as basalt.
Control
It is not possible to specify exactly what item will be encrusted, however the gem setter will normally grab the nearest item of that type, so some limited control over the process can be exerted by creating a one-tile stockpile right next to the workshop and adjusting its settings to match whatever item you wish to gem (for instance, a masterwork gold throne for your monarch, or low-quality clothing if you're training a novice gem setter) and set to take the items from your main stockpile. If you have only one or a few items that match the parameters, those items will be kept close at hand for the gem setter to work on.
