bezel setting
Encircling metal collar
A bezel setting is a style of mounting a gemstone by encircling it with a rim of metal rather than using prongs.
The metal collar wraps around the stone's edge, holding it securely while protecting it from chips and snags: She chose a bezel setting for her engagement ring because of her active lifestyle.
The technique works for any stone shape but is especially common with round and oval cuts.
