Bezel Rings

A bezel ring can capture the heart of any woman who finds herself on the receiving end of such a ring. With bezel rings, a metal girdle holds the gemstone firmly in place without blocking any light. The bezel setting increases the sparkle and glitter of the stone and protects the stone from damage.

The ring band can be made of precious metals like silver, gold, platinum, and titanium, although the color of the setting can affect the color of the stone in the ring. If you want a bezel ring made of yellow gold, keep in mind that the yellow of the gold bezel surrounding the stone will be reflected into the stone. This can cause a white diamond to appear less white. If you want a diamond engagement ring with a bezel setting, choose a white gold or a platinum setting to show off the sparkle and colorless nature of your diamond.

If your stone has a yellowish tint and you want it to appear brighter and whiter, mount the stone in a yellow gold bezel setting. The contrast of the yellow gold setting overpowers the yellowish tint of the stone, making the stone appear whiter in your bezel ring.

The advantage of the bezel ring is that it makes the gemstone appear larger than its actual size. A smaller stone will appear larger and sparkle just as brightly making the wearer feel like a queen when she glances down at her hand.
