<p>[QUOTE="Ce BCA, post: 4351984, member: 18716"]It's a hybrid type setting, a 'V' prong but the stone has been fixed by beading rather than the prongs, this is intentional given how thick the prongs are. It does have similarity to an illusion setting given the thickness of the mount, but in illusions the metal has cuts in it. I don't think there is a specific name for this setting, so I would go 'beaded V prong' as a descriptive.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
