I've just received two immigrants - one is a level 10 (Accomplished) Gem Setter, and the other is an Accomplished Gem Cutter. I like to have these two labors on one "jeweler" dwarf. Which one trains faster, and which one will add more value to encrusted stuff in the mean time?
On a side note, I'm loving these immigrants coming in with decent skills!

I'd say they train about evenly; after all, they are working with the same amount of resources. To be honest, I have no idea at all about the exact value bonuses, but my guess also is that it will be roughly the same. Therefore, pick either one, I don't think it matters much.
Yeah, that makes sense. I picked the cutter, because I figured the cutting adds wealth faster than the setting; he's only gathering one item and the to-be-encrusted widget is probably farther away.
Thanks!
Only the setter adds value to things; the cutter will add value to the large gems [which are essentially leftovers in the cutting process] but they're just for selling, or collecting.
Don't worry about having two separate dwarves; with the sheer abundance of gems now you might need several more to keep up with the amount of gems your miners will be excavating!
