Micro setting. What is it?

Also, can any size stone be set using this technique? It's just that I have a couple dozen 10 pointers that I would like set into an eternity style bangle and wondered if this type of setting would be feasible. It certainly appears nice.

Most of examples I know of are made with smaller diamonds though (definitely less than 5 points each) and the technique is used to achieve an even surface covered with many rows of diamonds.

Designers, such as Michael B. and Ritani, were among the first to create pieces in this fashion, and were quickly followed by Norman Silverman, Carelle, and Gumuchian Fils. Many other companies played catch up this year at the Las Vegas JCK Show by unveiling their own micropave jewelry lines, especially in the bridal category.
