Setting a diamond and welding it safe

This channel set diamond platinum eternity ring came to me with a diamond missing so I had to force back it's setting, set a new diamond in and weld platinum over it. This video shows all that, plus the cleaning up work and there is a photo of the finished job at the end.
The PUK 3S was set to 30% 6ms because it was platinum, if it was gold it would have been set to 25% 6ms because platinum usually needs more power to weld it. The diamond is very secure with the platinum welded over the edge and after filing/buffing then scorpering the inside edge, it matched the rest of the ring.

Like the video, not how I would have done it but I'm always interested to see how others do things and you did a great job. Can I ask if the wire you used is just normal platinum wire? 0.3mm or finer? Also do you have a trick for setting the soot out from behind the diamonds afterwards? I would have much preferred to see the ring in a ring clamp, I would have surely slipped, (I could hardly watch)I guess it was easier to film the whole process in the one spot. Great video.

The wire is usually about 0.25 or 0.3mm and I buy it from a tool/bullion supplier. It is known as Laser Wire. If the ultrasonic doesn't remove the soot, I use one of those electric dental flossing devices that pulses a high pressure water jet. It cost about 35 pounds.
