A prong setting is composed of a thin metal backing that is in the shape of a cradle and 4 to 8 tiny, delicately fashioned metal prongs. A gemstone mounted onto a prong setting will have its culet (or bottom part) set into the cradle, and will be held in place by the metal prongs that gently grip the diamond's table (its top).

  • The place in which the events of a work of literature happen.
  • The time in which a work of literature takes place.

  • The tableware necessary for eating a meal, as in a place setting of china and silverware
  • A jewelry frame designed to hold a gemstone
  • A batch of eggs for incubation
