    I think they were trying to go for a flat surface look, but a
    regular pave might have worked better than a cluster setting. It
    looked a little like someone had poked the center, it was sunken,
    but not noticeable to anyone but another jeweler. I think they got a
    good deal on oddly-cut or pointy-headed stones and were trying to
    use them up.
