Has anyone here ever heard of Cariter set studs? What is a cartier setting?

If it's the same as the one for solitaire necklaces with bigger diamonds, it's 4 prong and on the sides of the setting you can see the "CC" Cartier logo.

The bigger stone is 2.01ct H colour, VS1. The matching side is 2.03ct, G colour, VVS2, cttw is 4.05ct.

The smaller stone is 0.7ct, IF, VVS1 cttw about 1.4cttw.

Thanks skyqueen! But I'm wondering if 3 twin prongs will be sturdy enough to hold the diamond. I'm a bit paranoid about one of the prongs coming loose. The most secure would be 5 or 6 prongs but I wanted to try something new.
