stone setting
Jeweler's prong work
Stone setting is the craft of securing gemstones into jewelry mountings.
A jeweler uses specialized tools to bend metal prongs, bezels, or channels around stones to hold them firmly in place.
Different techniques suit different designs: prong settings expose more of the stone, while bezel settings encircle it completely.
The term also refers to the metal framework itself: The diamond came loose from its setting.
