What do you call tiny diamonds that go down ring?

What do you call the tiny diamonds that go down the side of some e-rings? I don''t mean the 3 stone look, I mean the row of tiny diamonds. Thanks!

The diamonds themselves are called melee. They can be pave set, bead set, channel set, etc.

Here''s a good explanation from a jeweler.

Hmm... thanks for the link, but now I''m thinking that wasn''t what I meant. I mean a little row like Equestrinne''s ring (on page 2).

I believe equestrienne''s melee diamonds are bead set in a channel setting...
