Carrie,

    Soounds like you need to get a different stone!  If you are seeing
    through a faceted stone, It means the stone is windowed.  This
    happens when the pavillion is cut below the critical angle of the
    stone.  It results in all the light entering the stone from the
    table going straight through and allowing you to see what ever is
    behind (or below) the stone.  Properly faceted stones will
    reflect/refract all or nearly all of the light back out through the
    table and you will not be able to descern what's behind it.  It
    matters not if the stone is prong set or bezel set. 

    Cheers from Don at The Charles Belle Studio in SOFL where simple
    elegance IS fine jewelry! dcdietz AT comcast.net
