A setting for diamonds in a jewelry piece includes an annular groove defined by upstanding, spaced walls and a base. The groove is bordered by two upstanding rims and diamonds are placed in the groove in a row in abutting relationship. The diamonds are supported on ledges that are formed between the walls and the rims, on sharp pointed edges which comprise a small amount of yielding gold material to allow the diamonds to be precisely aligned height-wise relative to one another. The rims are overturned on the peripheries, i.e. crowns of the diamonds to clamp the diamonds in the groove.
