Why We’re Betting on the Half Bezel Setting

What’s modern, sleek, and showcases your diamond better than any other engagement ring setting? The half bezel, of course.

It’s your DIAMOND ring. All caps. Whether you treated yourself with a sparkly lil something because self-care or it’s a symbol of your partner’s endless devotion, that rock on your finger deserves a setting that will keep it safe and sound for, well, ever. Our favorite way to indulge our “better safe than sorry” side? A glistening bezel. Here’s why.

Like many funny sounding jewelry words, the bezel’s linguistic origins are French. A Bezel setting is a style of setting where the diamond is surrounded by a metal rim, rather than clutched by the four or six prongs you’re used to seeing in a solitaire setting. They might have old-fashioned connotations, but, for both the trendsetters and the gemsetters, the bezel is officially in vogue right now.

Love them or hate them, bezel settings garner strong reactions. Learn why we love this no-fuss, low-profile, modern approach to the traditional solitaire.

Engagement rings have been getting lower and lower profile since the dawn of the century. What went up, must come down. Down so low in fact that some women are eschewing engagement rings for eternity bands. With no further ado these are our favorite low-profile lab-grown engagement rings.
