"Of course," he says, and adjusts the position of the gem on the bracelet by just a hair, then turns to slip on his rings. "This might get a little strange, so bear with me."
He's had to practice quite a lot on similar metals, so the process is now familiar. It's like silver in more ways that mere appearance; as he touches it, the crimson ring glows, feeding information to him about the melting point and malleability of the metal.
"Right," he says, half to himself, and activates the orange ring. A stream of orange light pours out of it, and where it touches the metal, its shape begins to change. The red and yellow rings flash intermittently, heating and cooling the metal, and forming it into a secure setting around the soul gem.
It takes about ten minutes of work, but the result is one soul gem, securely ensconced in the silver metal, and it almost looks like an actual qualified jeweler did the work. The setting is still a little rough-looking, but secure for all that. Gene replaces the bracelet on the table after his examination, and sits back with a tired sigh.
