What is a bezel setting?
A bezel setting holds the diamond in a smooth rim of metal that wraps right round its edge, instead of claws. It is one of the oldest ways of setting a stone, and today it gives a clean, modern ring.
Why choose a bezel?
- Protection: the edge of the diamond, its most delicate part, is covered all the way round.
- Nothing to catch: no claws to snag on knitwear, hair or gloves.
- Low and practical: it sits close to the finger, which suits active lives and hands-on jobs.
Which diamond shape?
A bezel traces the outline of the stone in a line of metal, so it makes the shape read clearly. Round and oval are the most popular; it also protects the points of a pear or marquise very well. Use the shape filter at the top of the page to see each one.
Metal choice
A bezel shows a little more metal than claws, so the metal colour plays a bigger part in the look. Choose platinum or 18ct white gold for a bright, white frame, or yellow or rose gold for warmth.
