While carefully admiring a stone with tweezers it flew across the room and got a tiny chip by the culet. Luckily its minimal and not visible face up - best to leave it as it and forget about the chip (pic of it through x10 attached below).
As for alternatives to tweezers, I've seen these ring-like holders but I've read on here they can put too much pressure and chip stones.
I've also seen these 4 prong holders, do they have a similar problem?
Happy to get advice, what you guys prefer, or learn of alternative options.
I realize admiring unset stones from a gem box is most secure but sometimes I want to play with them a bit more!
