The Story Behind Bezel Ring Settings

While the bezel setting sounds very contemporary, it’s actually an ancient design classic. Bezel ring settings have been clinching stones in place for centuries and were originally beloved by ancient civilizations whose precious stones needed to stay put during everyday activities. Smart. This classic technique involves wrapping a delicate band of metal around the edge of the diamond, guarding it in place so that practicality and elegance can work in perfect harmony.

It's interesting how far bezel settings have come from utilitarian, traditional items to elegant rings that marry classic craftsmanship with modern design. Bezel ring settings today retain that same tradition of security with neat, modern silhouettes to suit contemporary tastes. Its jewelry design is classic and modern, simultaneously, and perfect for celebrating your special milestones.

The beauty of bezel settings is that they're simple, dignified, and quietly confident. They don't need to clamor incessantly for your recognition. They exude elegance and sophistication, unfailingly, with every move you make.

FAQ Bezel Ring Settings

What are bezel ring settings?

In bezel ring settings, the diamond is surrounded by a metal rim that holds the stone in place. The resulting structure offers the most protection, bar none, compared to prong settings since the diamond stays firmly in place but remains visible from the top. In addition, a secure bezel setting is excellent for people with busy lives.

Do bezel ring settings make diamonds look smaller?

While a bezel setting encircles the diamond, it doesn’t make the diamond look smaller but rather gives it an elegant, framed look that enhances its brilliance.

Are bezel-set rings more secure than prong-set rings?

Absolutely! Bezel ring settings are one of the safest settings for diamond rings. A bezel setting fully surrounds the diamond in metal, leaving minimal space for it to wiggle, often the problem with prong settings when it comes to losing a stone, or those stones becoming loose! Bezel settings are a great choice for anyone with an active lifestyle.

Are bezel rings stackable with other bands?

Bezel ring settings are great for stacking rings. Their low profile and smooth edges make them easy to wear. You can stack them with everything from simple metal bands to pavé diamond rings to create your own signature ring stack.

How do you clean a bezel-set diamond ring?

Cleaning a bezel ring is easy. Simply soak it in warm water with mild soap and then gently brush around the setting with a soft toothbrush. Because the diamond is encircled by metal, there are no prongs for dirt to become trapped in. This actually makes bezel band rings even easier to maintain.
