    You have mentioned that you cannot trace any prongs to hold the
    stone? Well, it may be the case that it is held with a gold wire
    spring which has been pushed in a groove which has been laid across
    the bezel under the stone. It's my preferred type of setting instead
    of those flimsy prongs, as it is really nice and holds very neatly
    the stones in a bezel setting. One has to be very accurate to do
    this kind of setting otherwise the wire spring would not clip in the
    groove with the result that the stone might fall. Hope this helps to
    answer your query! JOSEPH TANTI,  MALTA -  EUROPE
