Bezel Rings

Bezel rings are the kind of jewelry worn by those who are not afraid to make a fashion statement. Granted, a bezel set ring is most commonly found in the costume jewelry department but for those who wish to combine their unique style with a fashion statement that can be backed up with a healthy pocket book, a bezel set diamond ring may be the most perfect piece of jewelry to grace their fingers.

Bezel set engagement rings differ from the more traditional solitaire sets by the fact that bezel settings will have a center stone that is then surrounded by the actual setting and thusly held in place. Quite often these center stone is further surrounded by other gems that add to the overall effect of the ring. A bezel cut diamond princess ring will have the ring that holds the gem in place either encircle the widest part of the diamond itself, thus securely holding it in place, or in the alternative only provide a partial setting option.

Bezel set diamond rings are frequently done with platinum rings, although gold, white gold, and silver are also seen. A bezel set engagement ring is very much favored by athletes, physicians, and anyone else whose life is marked by high levels of activity and hands on living. Bezel rings protect the set diamond to such an extent that nothing can get snagged – like it might be case with a more traditional prong setting – and the danger of scratching yourself or others with bezel rings are almost non-existent.

Another reason that makes bezel rings such a wonderful choice is the continuation of the rounded profile many a cut diamond embraces. While bezel set antique engagement rings may show off bigger stones or gems, the very fact that the setting of bezel rings incorporates the ring in the general design rather than makes it stand out permits for even the bigger stones to still look sleek and stylish instead of overdone and perhaps out of place. After all, you will want your bezel set cubic zirconia rings to look good whether you wear a wedding gown, a jog suit, or the pantsuit that always brings you good look during closing arguments!

Bezel-set rings oftentimes make the stone a part of the band itself, and thus many a band is wider than would be usual. Yet in keeping with the times, princess cut bezel rings enable the wearer to either have two band mounted to the setting, or even a thinner band, so as to create dramatic effects, as might be the case with black opal bezel setting rings or a bezel emerald ring where the color of the gem is only accentuated by the thin band, yet not overpowered. A bezel-set two tone ring will further underscore the dramatic effect of the gem. If you are ready to go online and purchase a set of bezel rings, PayPal may be your key to calling a bezel cut diamond ring your own for the upcoming nuptials - or just because!
