Bezel Engagement Rings

Copyright (c) 2011 Sandra Tiffany

For any woman, a treasured piece of jewelry is her engagement and wedding ring. An engagement and wedding ring is a symbol of a life-long love and committment. An engagement ring gives many memories, or in some cases expectations, of a life full of love and happiness. Out of all of the jewelry that a married woman owns, perhaps the most prized is her engagement ring. Because this ring has so much sentimental value, it is highly recommended that it is made in a way that it will last a lifetime. Part of this includes the way that the jewel is set into the ring.

One of the most highly recommended ways of setting a stone is the Bezel setting. A Bezel setting is when the stone is surrounded by metal, which creates a cradle effect. Bezel engagement rings are beneficial to many people, especially people who are active or into sports. The reason behind this is simple, which is that the ring does not get in the way of any activity. Anyone who has an active lifestyle would benefit from the Bezel setting. A Bezel setting is best for women active in sports and also for those wearing clothes that are easily snagged. When wearing a loose knit sweater or putting on nylons, one must be careful and wearing a Bezel mount ring helps.

It is a constant inconvenience to have to remove a ring just because the gem would get in the way or loosen and be lost. For example a pronged raised ring could get caught or snagged on something. This annoyance is eliminated with the bezel setting because the stone is safely nestled in the metal of the ring. Another benefit of having a Bezel engagement ring is that it gives the illusion that the gem is larger than it actually is. One tip for making a diamond look bigger is by adding a few paved stones in the ring as well. Many people, especially active people, are turning to a Bezel setting for their engagement and wedding rings.

Some sample pricing for bezel settings are:

1. Platinum Petite Bezel - $1,250
2. 1.50 ct Round Solitaire Bezel - $4,999
3. Diamond Bezel Set - $1,999
4. .95 ct Round Diamond Bezel - $1,724
5. 1 ct Round Diamond Bezel - $810

Some top places to purchase a bezel setting are James Allen, Zales, Buy.com, Amazon.com, eBay.com and other fine jewelry stores.

The security that bezel settings offer, knowing that a stone will not be in the way, or even worse—lost, is a great feeling for anyone wearing it.
