Is it possible to take a pre-made band and then burnish/bezel in a diamond?

I have a kite cut diamond that I want to set in a band, possibly mokume gane or damascus steel. I'm sure if the cut was a normal round or princess it would be easier, but I fell in love with this diamond. This is for a mens ring, so a simple solitaire or ring like that just won't do. In my head I'm imagining a jeweler taking the band, etching out the shape of the stone, and then burnish or bezel the corners in. Am I over simplifying it or do you think it's doable?
