MZ - I just took a look at his site, and he has a wonderful way of letting the stones sing. Gorgeous work. Can you show us your collection sometime? I''m sure it would be helpful to others who are looking to have cabs set.Date: 7/8/2009 4:40:59 PM

i have many cabs set.....but they are very large and set in silver. when i say large, i mean they cover my finger from knuckle to knuckle. they are bezeled. this is the maker:

however, i don''t see any pictures of anything quite like my rings, many of which are very high domed.

That''s what I''m thinking. I''m looking at setting that look like they have right sort of basket (something to rest on) and with tall prongs. And I''ve also asked for a ''squat'' cab, instead of a high domed one. We''ll see.Date: 7/8/2009 4:18:58 PM

Cabs are usually very top heavy and rounded; some also have a big belly or barely any (flat bottomed). Depending on your cabochon, it may not fit into a standard prong setting.
