If you are buying jewelry, do yourself a favor and make sure anything you get set in prongs looks like the right picture and not the left.
Workmanship is in the toilet, and a lot of lazy people are doing terrible welds or trying to mask the problem with more solder.
The left picture is guaranteed to lose a prong and lose the stone.
When building prongs, you need to cut into base and insert the prong into the semicircle. More contact between the metals and less solder hiding the joint.
