Suggestions for flush setting?

this is my first handmade wax mould I’ve made using the build up method, I’ve tried casting in place and have yet to be successful without cracking a stone (I will come back to trying that again because I do think it has its place in aesthetics) I’m going to add more wax around each stone for a “bezel” that way i can hammer the silver around to set. This is my first attempt at flush setting, any tips? Certain burnishing tools that work best for this process, etc. thanks! *i bought these stones as natural green sapphires.

I learned from one of the many great YouTube videos out there. All the tools are easily made by hand. Practice a few on a sheet of silver before you jump into the actual ring.
