Either make a setting like a ring, or dont use a diamond.

If you use the search feature here on DLN you will find several old threads dealing with this. It's come up a few times over the years.

If the customer wants fire in their stone the back must be open, although as the mouth is a cave there won't be much sparkle. I've done this with dentures, cleaning is a problem, I had Partial dep cast a setting with an Incisal edge of Crome polished super brite. A Marquis cut showed nicest fire, even with such a flat cut a 2-5 Carit clarity not to important but color should be As white (no color) as can be afforded. Good luck
