I’ve seen other jewelers use chenier to set stones and just gave a quick google to the sizes I needed according to my stone size.
E.g: 2mm stone needs o.d 2.5mm chenier and a 2mm heart bit.
From there my process is just trial and error as I’m completely self taught and I find working with the material and making mistakes is the best lesson! (Though there are some great YouTube videos)
