I thought tension set meant that their was no metal between the diamond and the finger? It was my understanding that it's not tension set because of the metal under the stone which is keeping the prongs together to hold the diamond, not pressure. Does that make sense?

Since it has prongs I'm pretty sure that that is wrong. I found 2 websites that have rings that look "similar" in some ways to the picture that you have posted. Niessing Gelin & Abaci I hope that this helps. I'm sorry if it doesn't. I'll keep an eye out. * Too much of a good thing can be wonderful * ~ Mae West September 6, 2009

Based on everyone's comments, it seems like it may be a modified tension setting..if there's such a thing?? Sparks - Thanks for the links. Looking at some of the pics there - my pic looks similar and would be a tension setting if not for the solid bottom. Please let me know if you do stumble across the official name, otherwise I'm going to have a tough time trying to explain this to the jeweler! Thanks all. ps. I think I'll try posting this on the Rocky-talky thread as well...

It is prong set, but the prongs are very rectangular. A picture is worth a thousand words - just show your jeweler the picture! You could print it out or email it.
