silvia b: 16:38 May 8, 2007: Mi sembra di ricordare che sia stato chiesto poco tempo fa, ma negli archivi trovo solo questo (senza soluzione): http://www.proz.com/kudoz/27707
silvia b: 16:40 May 8, 2007: se può aiutare, si chiama anche "incassatura con puntine o ricci", o "a baffo", secondo questo documento: http://www.artigianato.regione.lombardia.it/artigianato/file...
Juliet Halewood: 16:50 May 8, 2007: Thanks, Silvia. I also saw the previous question, but it was unresolved.
silvia b: 16:57 May 8, 2007: But I also remember a more recent KudoZ and I think somebody suggested a translation... but I can't find it in the archives!
Juliet Halewood: 17:02 May 8, 2007: I've found this picture of the setting in italian.

it seems to be set in a solid piece of metal.
Juliet Halewood: 17:03 May 8, 2007: as opposed to the claw setting
Juliet Halewood: 07:48 May 9, 2007: Could it be flush-set?
Juliet Halewood: 07:49 May 9, 2007: or a flush setting
Juliet Halewood: 14:18 May 13, 2007: I'm still working on it, but I'm not sure that bezel setting is the correct answer. I'm looking for something more specific.
