French term or phrase: bagues pavages

Just a list from a jeweler's shop. I know how it looks like (rows of stones, giving the impression of a 'pavement'). English?

Explanation:
The French word is a legitimate term in the English-speaking jewelry trade, referring (as you indicate) to stones set in a solid mass, like shiny little cobblestones...!
