The device of the present invention utilizes a basic scoop designed to hold a plurality of rhinestone settings with the prongs in vertical position ready to receive the stones. The scoop is provided with a rectangular bank of prepared openings into which the rhinestone settings will fall right side up automatically when the scoop is passed through a reservoir of settings. The scoop and rhinestones are now positioned on a base member having a vertically movable frame. A gauze mesh is now positioned across the top of the frame and vertically lowered so that the vertical prongs on the rhinestone settings will pass through the mesh at the corner intersections. A second scoop is now passed through the reservoir of rhinestones and picks up a bank of rhinestones equivalent to the number of settings on the previous scoop. These are held in the upper part of the machine by suction in accordance with the conventional type of rhinestone-setting machines. The machine then lowers the rhinestones into the prongs and clinches the prongs over the rhinestone in a conventional manner. The mesh is imprisoned between the prongs and the rhinestone effectively locking the rhinestone, the setting, and the mesh together.
