In jewelry I use a small wad of childrens crafting clay to pick up small gems when checking the settings. You know the sticks of yellow green blue and red clay?- thats the one.

I use a little bit of gum on a toothpick to pick up jewels - it's a little more precise when I set them back down - but that crayon tip is great - easy and fast. Thanks for the tip.

I love the tip of using the crayon. I'm so going to try that. Like omygosh I type like a valley girl. And glitter, glitter everywhere. I just sparkle.
