What kind of eternity band setting is this?

[musey]

I must be wedding-band-posting-happy today! Forgive my ignorance, but what is this type of eternity band called? Is it hammer-set or is that different?

I don't know. If I squint really hard, I see prongs holding the diamond down.

I see 2 prongs between every diamond. It looks like a cross between shared prong and a gypsy, but not quite a gypsy set. Maybe it's a bead set?

looks beadset to me...kinda hard to tell from the pic though..

Sorry the picture's not better!! It's the best one they had on the site...

The diamonds are set flush with the band, so it seems like it's not just bead set... I'll look into gypsy settings (I've never heard of that one!) so thank you!

maybe it's made kind of like the Ritani which are sort of channel set pave. so the stones are down in a channel but have the beads/tiny prongs holding the stone's in so there are no gaps. Some say this is why Ritani's are so secure. the setting you posted looks like it could be the same just using larger stones...
