Terminology for part of Rign

Anyway, with respect to a Harry Winston type setting with baguettes on the side, what do you call the piece of metal that the diamond sits in - it is perpendicular to the prongs. So when you look at the ring from the side, the piece of metal I am referring to is the bar that that visually splits the top half of the diamond and the cutlet. Clearly I am bad at explaining it, and wonder what the term is so that I can explain when having it designed that I want this part as thin as possible (so long as it is still sturdy). My girlfriend loves the side view of diamonds.

Do you mean the wide bit circling the diamond in this photo? the bit the diamond sits in that cradles it? I'm sure more knowledgeable people will chime in...
