Gem setter is the skill associated with the gem setting Template:L. Gem setters Template:L Template:L, Template:L and Template:L with cut Template:Ls. 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 Template:L, have to be converted to cut gems by a Template:L 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.
Because there is a very wide variety of gems in most regions and some types of gems have pretty high Template:L, adding decorations of different types of gems is a good way to create items with very high value for Template:L or Template:L.
Training gem setters for maximizing value gain
To get the most value out of the gems you find it is recommended to use up the cheapest gems first (agates, chalcedonies, jaspers etc.) to train your gem setter and leave the more valuable ones (tourmalines, zircons, opals etc.) until he or she reached a high skill level. The most valuable gems (emeralds, rubies, diamonds, sapphires) should only belong into the hands of a legendary gem setter.
Rough Template:L is also a rough gem, but when you have a Template:L layer on your map it can be produced by yourself from regenerative resources (Template:L) in a regular Template:L and even from nothing when you are the proud owner of a Template:L. So letting your gem setter encrust everything he gets his hands on with cut green glass is a great way to train him without wasting any of the limited natural-occurring gems.
You shouldn't have more than one gem setter to avoid diluting experience. You will not find enough gems for more than one anyway unless you have an army of miners strip-mining the whole map.
