In bezel engagement rings, the rim holds and completely surrounds the gem, with the back either open or closed. Bezels have a variety of edges: straight, scalloped, among others. The bezel setting makes a stone look larger, and nicely conceals flaws in the stone’s girdle – while also protecting it from becoming nicked or chipped.

Tip: If you choose a yellow gold bezel ring setting, note that the yellow will be reflected into the stone, possibly tinting the white stones often used in bezel rings. Nonetheless, depending on the type of bezel set diamond ring, the same effect can enhance the color of colored stones such as rubies and emeralds.
