A composite gemstone comprises a generally conically-shaped setting having a head 30, a vertex 32 spaced there from along an axis 34, and a tapered or conical wall 36 surrounding the axis and extending between the head and the vertex. The head 30 and the conical wall 36 both have multiple sockets extending therein. The sockets 16, 18 on the conical wall 36 are spaced angularly apart around the axis 34. Some of the sockets are spaced at different axial distances away from the vertex. The head 30 and the conical wall 36 both have multiple integral prongs 38 that are spaced angularly apart around each socket. Multiple miniature stones are mounted in the sockets and held therein by the prongs 38 surrounding the respective socket. The miniature stones are mounted in close adjacent relationship both on the head 30 and on the conical wall 36 to simulate that the composite gemstone is of a one-piece construction. |
