Design your own custom bezel ring
Designing a custom bezel ring gives you the opportunity to create a piece that reflects your personal style.
During a consultation, our jewellers will talk you through the elements that define a bezel set engagement ring, including how much of the stone is enclosed, the height of the setting, and how the band supports the centre diamond. You can adapt your design to multiple shapes, metal details and proportions to create a bezel ring that feels tailored to suit your personal style.
Why Choose a Bezel Engagement Ring?
The beauty of a bezel set engagement ring lies in its stylish, yet functional design. The centre diamond is surrounded by a polished rim of metal, emphasising the unique shape of the gem while providing extra protection. This engagement ring style is a suitable choice for individuals who appreciate both form and function. It’s a low-maintenance ring style that supports an active lifestyle.
Bezel rings are also incredibly versatile. There are slim variants with high-polish bands for those who prefer minimalist rings, as well as more sophisticated designs featuring fancy details like micropavé, a halo, milgrain, or side stones. The bezel setting itself also varies from full to partial, split, or high-set. The setting style can be combined with a variety of diamond cuts. Regardless of the style variation, every bezel set diamond ring is thoughtfully proportioned, with a refined design that looks good and feels great to wear.
Bezel vs Prong Settings: What’s the Difference?
Both bezel and prong settings have distinctive qualities and understanding their differences can help you choose the perfect engagement ring.
Prong settings elevate the diamond and hold it in place with small metal claws. This open structure allows light to enter from multiple angles and offers maximum sparkle. Prongs are often associated with a traditional look and they make the best choice for anyone who prioritizes brilliance above all else. However, prongs can catch on clothing and may loosen over time. They leave the diamond’s edge exposed, which means they may require more maintenance than a bezel ring.
A bezel setting surrounds the diamond with a rim of metal, creating a protective, comfortable design that sits close to the finger. The bezel softens the intensity of the diamond’s sparkle and gives it a more understated, even glow.
Many people choose a bezel engagement ring for its balance of beauty and practicality. The setting feels modern without being stark and secure without feeling heavy. It is an especially thoughtful option for anyone who wants a ring they can wear confidently every day.
If you want a ring that feels secure, refined and contemporary, a bezel set diamond ring offers a beautiful alternative.
