In the case of a loose rhinestone it’s not as complicated as it looks. As soon as you realize the stone is loose get a pair of tweezers and carefully remove the stone from the setting. Make sure not to drop it as a lost rhinestone is not easy to find. Pour a tiny bit of jewellery cement onto a plate afterwards hold your rhinestone carefully with the tweezers and dip the bottom into the cement carefully. Never use a lot of cement as when you put your rhinestone back in its setting the cement will ooze over it making a huge mess. After making sure there is not too much glue on the rhinestone set it in the setting and press it firmly but gently in place. Let it dry overnight to make sure it is secure and you are all set to go.
