A mounting system for cut stones is provided in the form of a setting ( 10 ) adapted to enclose, support and visually enhance a cut stone ( 12 ) such as a princess cut diamond ( 18 ). The preferred embodiment ( 10 ) has concave exterior sidewalls ( 14 ) enclosing a mounting aperture ( 16 ) for receiving the stone, and a vertically convex upper surface ( 68 ) which overlaps a portion of the stone. Sharply tapered apexes ( 70 ) virtually extend the corners of the stone and reflective materials help enhance the apparent size and brilliance of the stone. The setting ( 10 ) is adapted for use in various types of jewelry.
