ABSTRACT:
A setting and a method of making a setting include a V-end prong member having two V-shaped prongs preferably fabricated from a single length of material such as, for example, a round wire. Two grooves are die-struck into the length of material and extend from a center portion of the length of material toward opposite ends thereof. The length of material is blanked so as to trim excess material therefrom, forming a blank having opposite, receptacle-defining end portions, and a central portion. The blank is then bent so that the receptacles face each other to define the V-end prong member having two V-shaped end prongs and a central portion. A conventional prong member can then be attached to the central portion of the V-end prong member. The prong member includes spaced distal ends that confine the article between the spaced distal ends and the receptacles.
