It's no surprise that the bezel setting has stood the test of time as one of the most secure and durable ways of showcasing gemstones, especially diamonds. The setting involves surrounding the stone with a thin rim or collar of metal, holding it securely in place. Unlike prong settings, which leave parts of the stone exposed, bezel settings offer a more enclosed and protective approach. Let's take a closer look at the practical appeal of this great setting style…

The bezel approach is ideal for those seeking a robust setting that can handle everyday wear without fear of their diamond becoming loose or damaged. The smooth, rounded edge of the bezel also makes it less likely to catch on clothing or other materials, which is why it is a popular engagement ring choice among those with active lifestyles. Visually, designers often choose a bezel setting for its minimalist and understated look, as it provides a frame that enhances the stone's shape while keeping the focus on the diamond itself.
