The surface of the inlay is generally cut flush with the top edge of the cell; sometimes when the cells are not contiguous the inlay is cut \*en cabochon\* to rise above the cell, the latter turned inwards at the top to hold the inlay securely. This method is frequently adopted in ring bezels. - [Previous: v1.c15.s2.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c15.s2.1) - [Next: v1.c15.s2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c15.s2.3) - [Up: v1.c15.s2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c15.s2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c15.s2.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c15.s2.2) · Pramāṇa
