A bezel setting is one of the earlier techniques of setting gemstones into jewelry. Bezel setting has an elevated collar of metal wrapped around the stone. Bezel setting holds a gemstone securely in place and is preferred by the people who lead active lifestyles. This setting is a perfect choice for the people who prefer not to take their rings off and like wearing their rings almost all the time. Bezel setting provides great protection to the stone securing the edges and the corners of your precious stone making it safe and comfortable for everyday wear. Bezel settings are for the people who like contemporary modern rings, and practical and elegant at the same time. Because of its open setting, bezel setting allows you to clean the back of your gemstone very easily. Because they are difficult to design, usually they are expensive than traditional settings like prong setting.
Bezel set rings are gaining popularity despite that this setting makes a ring plain and simple. Apart from the full bezels, partial bezels are also becoming popular. Semi-bezel gives the ring a classy and graceful look. Princess and emerald cuts are the most popular choices for bezel setting. Accent stones are commonly used with bezel to compliment the subtle look of the ring. With a wide range of styles available in this protective setting, a lot of people are opting bezel setting as per their preference and individual tastes. You might want to wear your engagement ring all your life through, selecting a ring in bezel set would be a great idea since it holds the stone tightly.
A few people hold a belief that the bezel setting obstructs the path of light not letting it enter the stone. It thus makes the stone less brilliant. But this is not true because the maximum light enters through the table of the stone. Therefore, bezel does not affect the brilliance of the stone at all.
To conclude, bezel setting is a perfect choice if you want jewelry that is modern and elegant ensuring the stone protection and safety. Before buying a bezel set ring, include these essential factors in your check list:
Ensure that the wall of the stone is thick enough to hold the stone steadily and firm. The stone is tightly and securely fit so that it does not fall. Make sure that the stone is placed in level and is in symmetry with the design. The rim should be even and smooth without any sharp protrusions. Confirm that the top portion of the bezel is evenly burnished and finished evenly. Do check that the stone is not damaged.
Knowing about bezel set would help you select jewelry in bezel setting easily and comfortably.
