Is there a name for a setting with a bezel with prongs on the front and on the back?

And does it suggest a maker, country or era? Thanks for looking.

Got a pic? 

I remember many moons ago having one with pastel glass (not crystal) bezel set discs.

  I called it a Swarovski wanna be  lol. 

 

Was goldtone chain & had prongs on both sides of the bezel settings.

Thanks Sarah, I bought it yesterday so I'll post a pic when I receive it. It's a pin with navettes held by 8 prongs. Not foil backed.

I've always called them prong and bezel set beveled aspirin crystals.

Well, my brain's working today, so here's the auction #, you'll have to click on "sold items". Sorry about that, wasn't thinking. Maybe I'll call it double prong set.

Very pretty & delicate!   You did good....but still don`t think there`s a definite terminology  

 

 I`d probably do: Unfoiled marquis, bezel set, pronged front and back  (or something like that) when describing

Thanks dream. It just seems labor intensive to me as far as production is concerned. But I guess there's a reason for it.

Thanks Sarah, I'll probably just keep it. It looks a little off center, so maybe I can bend it here and there when it arrives.

Oh, I thought they were round until I saw the picture.  Not aspirin crystals, but a pretty brooch!  I do see where you described them as navettes.

Yeah, my bad, Sarah thought the same as you. Hopefully I'll see one with those settings that's signed.
