Morphology

resetter = reset (transparent) = reset + er

The job title is formed by adding '-er' to the verb 'reset' to denote the person who resets settings or objects (here, gemstones).

Etymology

The word resetter for jewelry comes from re- 'again' and set 'to put a gem in place', the same idea behind setting. A jewelry resetter 'sets again' a stone into a new place, which is why the word means someone who places or secures gems.
