Bezel Rings

Among the more traditionally designed rings are the bezel rings. These rings have the precious stone (or stones, in case of a channel setting ring) rim fastened on the ring. While the only drawback for such ring setting design is it doesn’t offer much face of the gem, this ring setting is the most secure type of ring setting.

Bezel rings are also critical in sometimes covering a stone’s imperfection. Shallow cut diamonds are best suited to bezel set rings since they offer a bit depth when the diamond is mounted on a mirror like surface on the ring. This makes an often necessary cost cuts procedures to otherwise very expensive venture, such as diamond rings. Slimmer diamonds are made, those that have wider face in proportion to the rest of its body. These diamonds are then mounted in bezel rings, having a mirrored seat will also make the diamond’s “fire” as true are you can get on a bigger diamond piece.

More often than not, bezel rings are way cheaper than solitaire rings, due to the aspects (or reasons if you see it that way) mentioned above, but without really compromising their face value. That’s why for budget conscious consumers, bezel set engagement rings and bezel set diamond rings are their best ticket. Solitaire rings use a larger stone, hence more expensive. The larger, more impressive stone is needed due to the usual mounting of claw or the prong and due to the predisposed of inspection of the stone itself, making the stone subject for more study. Though bezel rings also allow this, the view is only limited to above view. This one aspect of bezel rings is also very essential for manufacturing bezel rings using diamond stimulants. Like simulated Moissanite (synthetic silicon carbide) or cubic zirconia, the bezel set cubic zircona rings makes it very hard to detect the simulated diamond, especially Moissanite.

In channel ring designs, the bezel set allows more secured gems placed side by side. Not only bezel set is practical, diamonds set together closely in a bezel makes an illusion of a larger piece. Channel rings are fast overtaking the plain gold ring bands for engagements and weddings, and the only aspect of plain gold and silver bands that kept them from being completely overlooked is that they offer the most sanitary make of rings.

Here is a perfect sample of bezel ring for you to peruse.

Remember, the golden rule of bezel rings, that the bezel setting not only secures the diamonds in place, they also are used to hide a diamonds imperfection, such as the lack of depth, thus also the lack of fire. Bezel diamonds are also the customary ring setting for three gem rings, since they offer the best protection for the stone. While bezel settings are normally cheaper than solitaire rings due to the diminished mass of the precious stones, some bezel rings are more expensive due to more material used for the manufacture. And it isn’t uncommon for bezel designs to accompany accents of usually other smaller pieces of precious stones.
