Yes you can! When selecting the cabochon setting, choose one that has an opening that is equal to the diameter of the bezel cup so they can be assembled seamlessly.

To bond the bezel cup to the cabochon setting, apply a strong holding adhesive, like G-S Hypo Cement®, on the inside border of the cab setting and set the bezel cup onto the area intended for the cabochon. Let the adhesive cure overnight then set the stone into the cabochon setting.
