Bezel Setting

A metal rim that fully encircles the diamond, offering maximum security and a sleek modern look.

Definition

A bezel setting encases the diamond's girdle in a thin band of metal that wraps completely around the stone. A full bezel covers the entire perimeter, while a partial or semi-bezel leaves portions of the stone exposed. This setting provides the highest level of stone security and creates a smooth, low-profile silhouette.

Why it matters in ring design

Bezel settings are ideal for active clients who want maximum stone protection. The metal rim shields the girdle and edges from chips and impacts. It also creates a modern, streamlined look that appeals to minimalist design preferences.
