Box ring stone setting

I am working on Alan REVERE’s box ring.
How do I set a cabochon on it?
Must I cover the opening with a plate first and then add the bezel a and the stone.

no need to cover first Try this.set

Is the stone set in prongs? Is that a step bezel? Kindly advise.

Alan Revere is running a Facebook Group Let’s Make Profession Jewelry based on his book Professional Jewelry Making. The book is available from Amazon. The box ring is one of our projects.
