These are just some of the many functions that the Gem Studio provides.

Panther also provides a Gem Settings Studio, where you can select from Bezel Claw, Head, Calotte, and Under Bezel settings based on the gem input. You can also create Halo
settings around a central gem input, as well as clusters with fully adjustable settings and prong rows on any given single gems or rows of gems.
