For those who know jewelry: what is the term for the main stone in a ring?

I cannot seem to find, no matter how many "jewelry glossary" websites I search, what the main stone in a ring is called. Can anyone help with this? I am not looking for the names of gems or how they are cut, but rather just what the centerpiece stone in a ring is called.

Thank you.
