    this sounds like a "tension" set stone, if i understand your
    description to be the front or back view, (as opposed to top or
    shank side.) this cannot be achieved by casting, one must have
    special skills to sufficiently harden & form with a lot of spring to
    make sure the stone isn't lost in wear.
