The Striking Bezel Setting
If you are looking for engagement rings with a contemporary design then rings with a bezel setting are a popular choice. A bezel setting is a collar of metal that is slightly elevated above the gemstone. It is a very distinctive setting and it is the perfect choice for individuals who lead an active lifestyle and want to avoid having to take their engagement ring off regularly.
This striking setting offers much more protection than other elevated designs, such as the prong setting. It is a bolder setting which makes diamond engagement rings more noticeable.
Some people mistakenly believe that the bezel setting can obstruct diamonds, which can cause the stone to seem less brilliant. Most of the light that hits a diamond enters via the top (otherwise known as the diamond’s table) so the glitter is not affected by this setting.
Most bezel settings provide great protection to the stone. The setting not only protects against damage and chips, but also prevents oil and dirt building up in the diamonds. It is the accumulations of dirt that can make a diamond seem cloudy.
As well as full bezel settings, there are partial bezel settings. These fashionable designs have a setting that arcs across just part of the stone, differing in length according to the size of stone and the preference of the designer. If you choose a partial bezel setting, it may not hold the stone quite as securely as the full bezel setting.
At Marlows we have a full range of diamond engagement rings with settings to suit all preferences.
