German term or phrase: Chatonfassung
This has come up in a list of features describing jewellery. It is to do with the jewellery's setting, but I was wondering what the English equivalent is.

Reference

Reference information:
Chatons are round pointed-back rhinestones. These stones are set-on the material with a rhinestone setter and using special Tiffany-Prong or Rim-Set settings. These stones cannot be glued to the fabric. In general, a Chaton has a greater depth of color, clarity, and 'sparkle' than a Rose.
