What is the illusion setting for diamond rings?

I'm looking to buy myself a diamond ring, and I'm contemplating what sort of diamond ring setting I should get. I would love to get some more information about the "illusion setting".

The illusion ring setting surrounds the entire diamond, giving it an enlarging illusion. The metal surrounding the gemstone is often characterized by an interesting, unique design.

In this ring setting, the diamond is usually surrounded by mirrored metal plates, causing reflection and the illusion of a bigger diamond.
