This sterling silver cabochon ring mounting features a slightly offset tapered split shank and detailed leaf-shaped accents that serve as prongs and augment the cab mounting; the mounting holds one 14 x 10mm (approx.) oval cameo, cabochon, or other flat-back stone. Cabochon mountings feature a flat, sometimes open, base and raised edges with two to four prongs that hold a cameo or cabochon securely in place. Set your cameo or cabochon into the mounting, then burnish the prongs over the stone to secure it in place.
