14 kt White Gold Custom Bezel Diamond Ring In Dallas, Texas at Shira Diamonds
Bezel settings use a type of elevated collar which wraps the rim of the diamond in a complete metal edging. … The bezel setting also protects the diamond better than other types of settings, such as the prong setting. A flush setting for diamond rings is a variation on the rub-over or bezel setting.
The bezel setting is the second most popular ring setting due to its modern look and suitability for an active lifestyle. Instead of holding the diamond with prongs, the bezel setting encircles the diamond, or center stone, with a thin metal rim custom-made to hold the stone tightly in place.
Bezel Settings vs. Prong Settings. Prong settings are usually cheaper than bezel settings, making prongs a good choice if you’re on a budget. … The problem with prong settings is that they leave the stone more exposed to damage, while in a bezel setting the gemstone sits lower and is better protected.
