    Hello William: Not too many floating diamond ring builders on this
    forum. I have never made such a ring. I have seen this type thing in
    a watch before, but did not look at it very closely as I was just
    doing a battery change. I would imagine that the diamonds would have
    to be tube set and that the tube would have to not only be longer
    than the point or culet of the diamond but also tall enough to keep
    the table of the stone from touching the clear plates. I believe the
    clear plates on the watch I saw were plastic because they were
    scratched  alittle. I would say that if you could get some saphire
    watch crystals to use you would be better off. Let me know how it
    turns out.
